Explanation:

The Static Assembler is a Pega tool used to address rules assembly issues specifically when the server is managing a large number of rules caches. By pre-assembling rules into a static content, the Static Assembler helps in improving performance in situations where cache management becomes complex due to the volume of rules. It creates a set of static files that represents the assembled rules, which can reduce the overhead on the server during rule assembly and cache management.

Reference: Pega official documentation on performance tools and best practices.

Question #2

Which two actions do you perform when using the Performance Analyzer (PAL) to ensure that you obtain accurate performance data? (Choose Two)

A . Run the process to completion first to perform needed rule assembly and avoid skewed results.
B . Capture PAL readings after significant changes to a process to identify any performance impact.
C . Capture a PAL reading for a process with good performance to establish a benchmark for comparison.
D . Run PAL as an end user to account for any performance differences due to the portal itself.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: A, B
A, B

Explanation:

A: Running the process to completion before capturing PAL readings is important because it ensures that all the necessary rule assemblies have taken place. If you measure performance without doing this, the rule assembly might skew the results by adding additional overhead.

B: Capturing PAL readings after significant changes to a process helps in identifying any performance impacts due to those changes. This allows you to compare the performance data before and after changes to assess their impact.

Reference: Pega official documentation on Performance Analyzer (PAL).

Question #6

An assignment service-level agreement (SLA) is configured with the following details:

♦ Initial urgency: 20

♦ Assignment ready: Timed delay of 1 hour

♦ Goal: 5 hours and increase urgency by 10

♦ Deadline: 8 hours and increase urgency by 20

♦ Passed deadline: 2 hours, increase urgency by 20, and limit events to 5

Assuming no other urgency adjustments, what is the assignment urgency 16 hours after the case reaches the assignment?

A . 100
B . 90
C . 130
D . 70

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: B
B

Explanation:

Sixteen hours after the case reaches the assignment, the assignment urgency is calculated as follows: Initial urgency (20) + Urgency after goal (10) + Urgency after deadline (20) + Urgency after passing the deadline (2 hours passed, urgency increases by 20, and this event repeats for the limit of 5 times, so 20×5=100). Adding these together: 20 + 10 + 20 + 100 = 150. However, since none of the options matches this calculation, there might be an error in the given options or a misinterpretation of the question. Based on the provided options, 90 would be the closest, indicating a possible oversight in the question.

Question #42

Your application is deployed to the cloud. A data source outside your application populates a data page by using your data access pattern configuration. You receive complaints that the system takes a long time to fetch data each time the case worker accesses information for a different customer.

Which approach solves this performance issue?

A . Access data page with a predefined key so that, once loaded, data access is faster.
B . Fetch only the targeted data from the database each time data is needed so access is faster.
C . Change snapshot data access method to reference pattern data access method.
D . Move to local installation because network traffic in cloud deployment is often slow.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: A
A

Explanation:

Using a data page with a predefined key enhances performance by leveraging the caching mechanism of Pega. When a data page is loaded with a specific key, it is stored in memory. Subsequent accesses to the data page with the same key do not require fetching the data again from the external data source, significantly reducing the access time. This approach is particularly beneficial in cloud deployments where network latency can impact performance. It ensures that once the data for a particular customer is fetched and stored in the cache, accessing the same customer’s information again is much faster, addressing the performance issue reported.

Question #44

To reduce training requirements for users, a company wants to utilize the existing front end of their application.

How can a third-party application use Pega Platform?

A . By using middleware tools in application servers
B . By using database tables for staging the requests
C . By using REST calls from the Pega API
D . By exposing third-party application services

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: C
C

Explanation:

Integrating a third-party application with Pega Platform can be efficiently achieved through REST calls using the Pega API. This allows for seamless communication between the third-party application’s existing front end and Pega’s backend processes. The REST API endpoints in Pega Platform enable external applications to interact with Pega applications for operations like case management, assignments, and data retrieval, without requiring significant changes to the existing user interface or user experience. This approach minimizes the need for extensive retraining of users on a new system, leveraging the familiar UI of the existing application.

Question #45

You are updating a system of record using a SOAP connector. If the system of record is unavailable, you want to retry after an hour. If it is still unavailable after an hour, a notification should be sent to a system administrator.

How do you implement this requirement?

A . Implement the logic in the data page’s response data transform.
B . Implement the logic in the connector’s error handler flow.
C . Customize the standard pxErrorHandlingTemplate data transform.
D . Use a transition condition in the activity step invoking the connector.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: B
B

Explanation:

To handle the unavailability of a system of record when using a SOAP connector, the most effective approach is to implement the retry logic in the connector’s error handler flow. This flow can be configured to wait for a specified duration (in this case, an hour) before retrying the connection. If the system remains unavailable after the retry, the flow can then proceed to send a notification to the system administrator. This approach encapsulates the error handling logic within the connector’s flow, making it reusable and maintainable.

Reference: Pega Community documentation on connector error handling and SOAP connectors.

Question #46

Which statement is true about services?

A . Services require a REST connector to function.
B . Services return all data in XML format.
C . Services may process outbound requests.
D . Services may use a listener that runs in the background.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: D
D

Explanation:

Services in Pega Platform can be configured to listen for incoming requests using background listeners. These listeners are continuously running processes that wait for requests on specific ports or addresses. When a request is received, the service processes it accordingly. This capability is crucial for enabling asynchronous communication and integration with external systems, where Pega services can act upon requests without requiring manual initiation of these interactions.
