2.

You need to create an application that does not require reuse at the application level. It is unlikely that the application will be extended in the future. Which application structure would you generate? (Choose One)
- A.
  
  Implementation Only
- B.
  
  Framework and Implementation
- C.
  
  Framework Only
Correct Answer
A. Implementation Only

Explanation
In this scenario, where there is no need for reuse at the application level and no future extension is expected, the most suitable application structure would be "Implementation Only". This means that the focus will be solely on implementing the necessary functionality without the need for a framework or any additional components. This approach allows for a more straightforward and streamlined development process, as there is no need to consider the complexities and overhead associated with frameworks or the potential for future extension.

Which of the following rule types do not belong to ruleset version? (Choose Two)
- A.
  
  Property
- B.
  
  Application
- C.
  
  Class
- D.
  
  Activity
Correct Answer(s)
B. Application
C. Class

Explanation
The rule types that do not belong to ruleset version are Application and Class. Ruleset versions are used to manage and track changes to rules in a system. Property and Activity are rule types that can be included in a ruleset version, as they define specific properties and actions within the system. However, Application and Class are not rule types themselves, but rather higher-level constructs that encompass multiple rules. Therefore, they do not belong to ruleset versions.

Rate this question:
7.

Which rules can be referenced when developing rules in a specific ruleset version called MyCo:02-03-04? (Choose Two)
- A.
  
  Rules in all lower numbered versions of that ruleset
- B.
  
  Rules in the ruleset versions defined as prerequisites for that ruleset version
- C.
  
  Rules in the rulesets specified in the application rule
- D.
  
  Rules in the ruleset versions defined as prerequisites for the prerequsites of this ruleset
Correct Answer(s)
B. Rules in the ruleset versions defined as prerequisites for that ruleset version
D. Rules in the ruleset versions defined as prerequisites for the prerequsites of this ruleset

Explanation
When developing rules in the specific ruleset version called MyCo:02-03-04, two rules can be referenced. The first is rules in the ruleset versions defined as prerequisites for that ruleset version. This means that any rules in the prerequisite versions of MyCo:02-03-04 can be referenced. The second is rules in the ruleset versions defined as prerequisites for the prerequisites of this ruleset. This means that any rules in the prerequisite versions of the prerequisite versions of MyCo:02-03-04 can also be referenced.

8.

What statement is true about the ruleset list? (Choose One)
- A.
  
  Specified through the Access Group, Organization, and Division
- B.
  
  Specified in the Application rule
- C.
  
  Used when running rules
- D.
  
  Used when developing rules
Correct Answer
C. Used when running rules

Explanation
The ruleset list is used when running rules. This means that the list determines the order in which the rules are executed during runtime. The ruleset list is a collection of rulesets that are applied to determine which rule should be executed first. By specifying the ruleset list, the system knows the priority and sequence of rules to be followed when running the rules.

Rate this question:
9.

Which of the following is not a ruleset versioning best practice? (Choose One)
- A.
  
  Only the highest version of ruleset should be unlocked
- B.
  
  All application rulesets should have the same version number
- C.
  
  Once locked, a ruleset version should not later be unlocked
- D.
  
  All development should occur in the highest version
Correct Answer
B. All application rulesets should have the same version number

Explanation
In ruleset versioning, it is not a best practice for all application rulesets to have the same version number. Each ruleset should have a unique version number to differentiate it from others. Having the same version number for all rulesets can lead to confusion and make it difficult to track changes or identify specific versions of rulesets. It is important to assign different version numbers to rulesets to ensure proper management and control of the application's development process.

Rate this question:
10.

Which feature would you use to copy the highest version of every rule in a ruleset to a new version? (Choose One)
- A.
  
  Refactor on import
- B.
  
  Lock and Roll
- C.
  
  Skim a Ruleset
- D.
  
  Copy/merge a Ruleset
Correct Answer
C. Skim a Ruleset

Explanation
Skimming a ruleset allows copying the highest version of every rule to a new version. This feature is useful when there are multiple versions of rules in a ruleset and you want to create a new version with only the highest version of each rule. Skimming helps in simplifying and organizing the ruleset by removing the older versions of rules, ensuring that only the latest versions are included in the new version of the ruleset.

Which of the following requirements does Process Commander enforce when merging a branch RuleSet into the base RuleSet? (Choose Two)
- A.
  
  All rules in the branch RuleSet must be checked in
- B.
  
  All merge conflicts must be resolved
- C.
  
  A higher version of the base RuleSet must be available on the system
- D.
  
  The branch RuleSets must be locked
Correct Answer(s)
A. All rules in the branch RuleSet must be checked in
B. All merge conflicts must be resolved

Explanation
Process Commander enforces the requirement that all rules in the branch RuleSet must be checked in before merging it into the base RuleSet. This ensures that all changes made in the branch RuleSet are properly saved and can be included in the merged RuleSet. Additionally, all merge conflicts must be resolved before the merge can be completed. This ensures that any conflicts between the branch and base RuleSets are addressed and resolved, preventing any inconsistencies or errors in the merged RuleSet.

Rate this question:
12.

Which statement is least accurate with regards to merging rules? (Choose One)
- A.
  
  Discuss conflict with the individual who modified base rule if changes are complex
- B.
  
  Use the automatic merge functionality for minor base rule changes
- C.
  
  It is recommended to merge rules into a new (higher) base RuleSet version
- D.
  
  Ignore conflicts in other branched RuleSets since changes might not be final
Correct Answer
B. Use the automatic merge functionality for minor base rule changes

Explanation
The statement "Use the automatic merge functionality for minor base rule changes" is least accurate with regards to merging rules. Automatic merge functionality is not recommended for minor base rule changes because it may not handle conflicts properly. It is better to manually review and merge such changes to ensure that conflicts are resolved correctly.

Rate this question:
13.

Which of the following is not a best practice when merging the branch RuleSet into the base RuleSet? (Choose One)
- A.
  
  Always merge all available branches into the base RuleSet at the same time
- B.
  
  Create a new RuleSet version in the target base RuleSet for the branch
- C.
  
  Lock the target base RuleSet version after the merge
- D.
  
  Lock the branch RuleSet before the merge
Correct Answer
A. Always merge all available branches into the base RuleSet at the same time

Explanation
Merging all available branches into the base RuleSet at the same time is not a best practice because it can lead to conflicts and make it difficult to identify and resolve issues. It is recommended to merge branches one at a time to ensure that each merge is successful and any conflicts can be easily managed.

Rate this question:
14.

Which of the following statements are least accurate in respect to branches and branch RuleSets? (Choose One)
- A.
  
  A branch is a container for RuleSets with rules that are undergoing change and development
- B.
  
  A branched RuleSet must belong to a branch
- C.
  
  Branches are defined on the application
- D.
  
  A branch RuleSet can be branched from another branch RuleSet

Process Commander’s branching ability is most appropriate to use when ________ (Choose One)
- A.
  
  Several development teams work on different enhancements in a RuleSet simultaneously that will go into production at the same time
- B.
  
  Several development teams work on different enhancements in the same RuleSet simultaneously and it is not known ahead which enhancements will go into production first
- C.
  
  All development teams simultaneously work on the same enhancement in a RuleSet and it is not known ahead when the enhancement will go into production
- D.
  
  The only development team work on an enhancement in a RuleSet and it is not known ahead when the enhancement will go into production
Correct Answer
B. Several development teams work on different enhancements in the same RuleSet simultaneously and it is not known ahead which enhancements will go into production first

Explanation
Process Commander's branching ability is most appropriate to use when several development teams work on different enhancements in the same RuleSet simultaneously and it is not known ahead which enhancements will go into production first. This is because branching allows multiple teams to work on different branches of the same RuleSet without interfering with each other's work. It provides a way to manage and merge changes made by different teams, ensuring that conflicts are resolved and the final version of the RuleSet includes all the necessary enhancements.

(True or False) Rule Resolution is the process that creates executable code out of a rule.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Rule Resolution is not the process that creates executable code out of a rule. Rule Resolution is a process used in rule-based systems to determine which rules should be fired or applied based on the available data and the conditions specified in the rules. It is a mechanism for selecting the most appropriate rule to be executed, but it does not involve the creation of executable code.

- A.
  
  The rule that is chosen by the system has an Availability of “Withdrawn”
- B.
  
  The user does not have appropriate privilege to access the rule that is chosen by the system.
- C.
  
  The rule that is chosen by the system is in a RuleSet that is not in the application’s RuleSet stack.
- D.
  
  The rule that is chosen by the system is not in the class inheritance path for the given context.
- E.
  
  The rule that is chosen by the system has an Availability of “Blocked”
- F.
  
  The rule that is chosen by the system has warning messages shown to the designer when the rule was last saved.
Correct Answer(s)
B. The user does not have appropriate privilege to access the rule that is chosen by the system.
E. The rule that is chosen by the system has an Availability of “Blocked”

Explanation
The error message is thrown when a user performs an action in the PRPC application that calls a rule because either the user does not have the appropriate privilege to access the rule chosen by the system or the rule has an availability of "Blocked". This means that the user either lacks the necessary permissions or the rule is restricted from being accessed.

- PIPFW:01-01
- PIPFWInt:01-01
- LES:01-01
- LESCatalog:01-01
- LESInt:01-01
A rule with an applies-to class of “ABC-FW-LoanReq-Work-Autoloan” calls “Rule123”. There are 9 copies of Rule123 in the system as shown below.
- Option A: ABC-FW-LoanReq-Work, PIPFW:01-01-05, Availability = Withdrawn

- P.
  
  A, error raised
- Q.
  
  G, error raised
- R.
  
  A, no error raised
Correct Answer
C. D, error raised

Explanation
Rule resolution follows a specific order when selecting a rule. It first checks the availability of the rule in the current RuleSet, and if not available, it looks for the rule in the parent RuleSet. In this scenario, the rule with the applies-to class "ABC-FW-LoanReq-Work-Autoloan" is calling "Rule123". The applies-to class is "ABC-FW-LoanReq-Work", and the RuleSets in the order of resolution are PIPFW:01-01, PIPFWInt:01-01, LES:01-01, LESCatalog:01-01, LESInt:01-01, and Pega-RULES:07-10-99. Option D, ABC-FW-LoanReq-Work, LESCatalog:01-01-03, Availability = Blocked, is the correct answer because it matches the applies-to class and is the highest version available in the RuleSets hierarchy. Therefore, an error would be raised when trying to call "Rule123".

  A, error raised
- Q.
  
  C, no error raised
- R.
  
  A, no error raised
Correct Answer
N. I, no error raised

Explanation
The rule chosen by Rule Resolution is Option I: @baseclass, Pega-RULES: 07-10-99, Availability = Yes. This is because the rule with the highest version and availability is selected during rule resolution. Option I has the highest version number and is available, so it is chosen. No error is raised because the rule is found successfully.

In order to achieve maximum reuse, which layer should contain the standard processes? (Choose One)
- A.
  
  Implementation
- B.
  
  Framework
- C.
  
  Division
- D.
  
  Organization
Correct Answer
B. Framework

Explanation
The correct answer is Framework. A framework is a reusable set of standard processes, tools, and guidelines that can be used across different projects or applications. By placing the standard processes within the framework layer, they can be easily accessed and utilized by different teams or divisions within an organization, leading to maximum reuse and consistency in project implementation.

In which layer should you instantiate your work instances and why? (Choose One)
- A.
  
  In the organization – so they can be reused
- B.
  
  In the implementation – to be the most specific
- C.
  
  In the division – so the division retains ownership of the work.
- D.
  
  In the framework – so they can be easily maintained
Correct Answer
B. In the implementation – to be the most specific

Explanation
In the implementation layer, it is ideal to instantiate work instances because this layer is the most specific and closely related to the actual implementation of the work. By instantiating work instances in this layer, it allows for better control and customization of the work, ensuring that it aligns with the specific requirements and needs of the implementation. This approach also promotes modularity and reusability, as the work instances can be easily managed and maintained within the implementation layer.

(True or False) Pattern inheritance is checked before directed inheritance.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Pattern inheritance refers to the concept of inheriting properties and behaviors from a design pattern or a set of patterns. In contrast, directed inheritance refers to the normal inheritance process where a class inherits properties and behaviors from a parent class. In the given statement, it is stated that pattern inheritance is checked before directed inheritance. This means that when a class is being created, the system first checks if there are any design patterns that it should inherit from before considering the regular inheritance process. Therefore, the statement is true.

Explanation
In this scenario, the LoanAppFW framework contains an "IsApproved" rule that directly calls the "GetRating" rule. The requirements for GetRating are different for all five divisions (DivA, DivB, DivC, DivD, DivE). In a best-practice design, there are six GetRating rules. The first GetRating rule is in the MyCo-FW-LoanApp-Work class, which is the framework level. The remaining five GetRating rules are in the respective division-specific classes: MyCo-DivA-LoanAppDivA-Work, MyCo-DivB-LoanAppDivB-Work, MyCo-DivC-LoanAppDivC-Work, MyCo-DivD-LoanAppDivD-Work, MyCo-DivE-LoanAppDivE-Work.

You wish to create a “CalculateRate” rule and specialize it so that the functionality of it is different based on the “AccountNumber” property: any AccountNumber in the 1000’s (1000-1999) should have this special functionality. Assuming that circumstancing is used to provide this specialization, and that the “CalculateRate” rule does not exist in the system, how many rules (at minimum) must be created? (Choose One)
- A.
  
  4
- B.
  
  2
- C.
  
  1
- D.
  
  Circumstancing cannot be used to address this requirement
- E.
  
  3
Correct Answer
A. 4

Explanation
To address this requirement, a total of four rules must be created. One rule will be the base rule "CalculateRate" and the other three rules will be specialized versions of "CalculateRate" based on the "AccountNumber" property. The base rule will provide the default functionality, while the specialized rules will provide the special functionality for AccountNumbers in the 1000's range. Therefore, a minimum of four rules is required to meet this requirement.

The given answer is allowed by the system because it consists of two rules. The first rule is not circumstanced, meaning it applies to all cases. The second rule has a start date and an end date specified, which means it is only applicable within that time frame. Therefore, this combination of rules allows for the approval of loans that meet the criteria of the first rule and fall within the specified time period of the second rule.

Which of the following scenarios is LEAST likely to use circumstancing as a mechanism to provide the specialization described? (Choose One)
- A.
  
  Provide specialized functionality for a particular work type.
- B.
  
  Provide specialized functionality when a rule is called in the years 2013 and 2015.
- C.
  
  Provide specialized functionality when the “YearBuilt” property is 2004 or after.
- D.
  
  Provide different functionality for when a rule is called during winter months.
- E.
  
  Provide specialized functionality when the “RequestedBy” property is “John Doe” and the “BudgetCode” property is “AC2348”
Correct Answer
A. Provide specialized functionality for a particular work type.

Explanation
The scenario "Provide specialized functionality for a particular work type" is least likely to use circumstancing as a mechanism to provide the specialization described because circumstancing is typically used to provide specialized functionality based on specific conditions or criteria, such as a specific year, property value, or person. In the given scenario, there is no specific condition or criteria mentioned, only a general work type, which suggests that circumstancing may not be necessary or applicable in this case.

The “CalculateRisk” rule is called from the ABC-LoanRequestFW-Loan-Autoloan context with a “CreationDate” value of June 6, 2010. Of the rules listed below, which would be chosen by rule resolution? (Choose One)
- A.
  
  Not circumstanced, Class = “ABC-LoanRequestFW-Loan-Autoloan”
- B.
  
  Not circumstanced, Class = “ABC-LoanRequestFW-Loan”
- C.
  
  .CreationDate as-of February 4, 2010, Class = “ABC-LoanRequestFW-Loan”
- D.
  
  .CreationDate as-of September 3, 2010, Class = “ABC-LoanRequestFW-Loan”
- E.
  
  Start Date: May 1, 2010, End Date: August 31, 2010, Class = “ABC-LoanRequestFW-Loan-Autoloan”
Correct Answer
A. Not circumstanced, Class = “ABC-LoanRequestFW-Loan-Autoloan”

Explanation
The rule "Not circumstanced, Class = 'ABC-LoanRequestFW-Loan-Autoloan'" would be chosen by rule resolution because it matches the context and class of the rule being called. The other rules either have different classes or are circumstanced based on the creation date, which does not match the given value of June 6, 2010. Therefore, the not circumstanced rule with the correct class is the most specific and appropriate choice.

Which of the following is least important in promoting reuse? (Choose One)
- A.
  
  Creating robust, multistep rules that can execute a complete flow without the need to call other rules.
- B.
  
  Documenting rules well so they can be read by other users.
- C.

- D.
  
  Creating rules that execute a single logical function.
Correct Answer
A. Creating robust, multistep rules that can execute a complete flow without the need to call other rules.

Explanation
Creating robust, multistep rules that can execute a complete flow without the need to call other rules is least important in promoting reuse because it focuses more on the technical aspect of rule execution rather than the organizational and documentation aspects. While it is important to have efficient and self-contained rules, the other options prioritize the clarity, understandability, and accessibility of the rules for other users, which are crucial for promoting reuse in a collaborative environment.

Which of the following statements about parameterization is FALSE? (Choose One)
- A.
  
  It is possible to make a parameter required.
- B.
  
  Filling in a parameter description is recommended, but not required.
- C.
  
  A parameter can be of type text, integer, or page name.
- D.
  
  Circumstanced rules cannot be parameterized.
Correct Answer
D. Circumstanced rules cannot be parameterized.

Explanation
Circumstanced rules cannot be parameterized. Parameterization allows for the customization and flexibility of rules by allowing inputs to be passed as parameters. However, circumstanced rules are already customized based on specific conditions or circumstances, so parameterization is not applicable to them.

Correct Answer
F. Circumstance

Explanation
Circumstance specialization is the best technique to be used in this scenario. Circumstance specialization allows for the creation of different rules or behavior based on specific conditions or circumstances. In this case, the insurance company wants to calculate the coverage fee consistently for all Makes/Models except for Honda Civic and Toyota Camry. By using circumstance specialization, the company can create a specific circumstance for these two models and apply different rules or behavior, while keeping the business requirements the same for all other models. This ensures that the coverage fee is calculated differently for the specified models, while maintaining consistency for others.

The locking configuration on the Advanced tab of the case type rule is meant_______________________. (Choose One)
- A.
  
  For the instantiation of stand-alone cases only
- B.
  
  To be irrespective of the instantiation; end users can configure the locking mechanism at runtime
- C.
  
  For the instantiation of both stand-alone and under a parent case hierarchy
- D.
  
  For the instantiation of subcases under a parent case hierarchy
Correct Answer
A. For the instantiation of stand-alone cases only

Explanation
The locking configuration on the Advanced tab of the case type rule is meant specifically for the instantiation of stand-alone cases. This means that the locking mechanism configured here will only apply to cases that are created and managed independently, without any parent case hierarchy. It does not affect the locking of subcases under a parent case hierarchy or any other type of case instantiation.

(True or False) Email Instantiation of a case can only be configured for the top-most parent case.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Email Instantiation of a case can only be configured for the top-most parent case. This means that when using email instantiation, it is only possible to configure it for the highest level case in a hierarchy. Sub-cases or child cases cannot be configured for email instantiation. This limitation ensures that all relevant information and updates regarding a case are consolidated and managed at the highest level, allowing for better organization and tracking of case progress.
