PEGA CSSA Mock Test

The best tool to compare PRPC Error with alerts, as well as the JVM garbage collection log, is PLA_ PegaRules Log Analyzer. This tool specifically analyzes and interprets PegaRules logs, allowing users to easily identify and troubleshoot errors and performance issues. AES (Automated Error Reporting System) is primarily used for monitoring and managing Pega applications, SMA (System Management Application) provides system administration capabilities, and Excel is a general-purpose spreadsheet tool that may not have the specific functionality required for comparing these logs.

Allowing instances to be stored in a default table (pr_other) is a poor design practice because the default table does not contain adequate indexes and columns for performance. This means that retrieving and manipulating data from the table may be slower and less efficient. In order to optimize performance and ensure proper data organization, it is recommended to use tables specifically designed for storing and managing the relevant data.

The best initial action to take when users complain about terrible response times in a newly deployed application is to use the PLA-PegaRULES Log Analyzer to analyze the ALERTS, System Logs, and GC. This tool allows for a comprehensive analysis of the application's logs and garbage collection, which can help identify any performance issues or bottlenecks that may be causing the slow response times. By analyzing these logs, it becomes easier to pinpoint the root cause of the problem and take appropriate actions to optimize the application's performance.

To debug an agent using Tracer, you can delay the agent processing from SMA and then trace the given requestor. This means that you can pause the execution of the agent and then trace the specific requestor that you want to debug. By doing this, you can analyze the execution flow and identify any issues or errors in the agent's processing.

Decision Table rules can be edited in Excel because Excel provides a user-friendly interface and a wide range of features that allow users to input and manipulate data easily. Excel also offers various tools for organizing and analyzing data, making it a suitable platform for creating and editing decision tables. Users can enter the conditions and corresponding actions in separate columns, and use Excel's formatting and formula capabilities to create and modify decision table rules efficiently. Additionally, Excel allows for easy collaboration and sharing of decision tables among team members.

The correct answer is the Data-Admin-DB-Table record associated with the class group the work object belongs to. This is because the Data-Admin-DB-Table record defines the database table where the work object will be persisted. By associating the record with the class group, it ensures that all work objects belonging to that class group are stored in the same table.

The best practice for branding an application to meet a company's style requirements is to use the Application Skin wizard and then modify the generated skins when needed, while trying to limit the use of inline styles. This approach allows for customization of the application's appearance while maintaining consistency and avoiding excessive use of inline styles, which can make maintenance and future updates more difficult.

The correct answer is "Using the SMA you can view the contents of the instance cache which are displayed in the form of an excel file." This is because the SMA (System Management Application) provides a user interface for monitoring and managing Pega applications. It allows users to view various system information, including the contents of the instance cache, which are displayed in the form of an excel file. The other options mentioned, such as using the Developer Portal or viewing XML files, do not provide a direct way to view the contents of the Rule Instance Cache.

When executing a blocked rule, PRPC throws an exception. This means that if a rule is blocked, PRPC will not ignore it or continue searching for the next rule, but instead, it will stop the execution and throw an exception.

The most likely root cause of the slow response issue is that over time, more rows have been added to the work, history, assignment, and operator tables. This has resulted in inefficient queries on these tables, causing them to take longer than they did 9 months ago. As the number of rows increases, the queries become slower, impacting the overall performance of the BPM application.

Rule-Declare-Expression can use backward chaining as a method of propagation because it allows the system to infer values based on the values of other properties. Backward chaining starts with the goal and works backward to find the conditions that need to be satisfied. In this case, the rule is declared as an expression, which means that it is used to calculate a value based on the values of other properties. Therefore, backward chaining can be used to propagate the value of the rule based on the values of the properties it depends on.

The correct answer is that the Authentication timeout should be set to occur first. This means that the authentication timeout should be set to a shorter duration compared to the requestor timeout. This ensures that the user is prompted to re-authenticate before their session expires due to inactivity. By setting the authentication timeout to occur first, it helps to maintain the security of the system by regularly verifying the user's identity.

To unit test a connector within a flow when the target interface/system is not yet available, four steps must be taken. First, create a Simulation activity. Then, set the connector to simulate in the Simulation data instance and specify the activity. Next, define a Connect simulation instance. Finally, test the flow with simulation enabled. These steps allow for testing the connector functionality without the actual target system being available.

JMS stands for Java Message Service, which is a method of service integration within PRPC that requires the configuration of a listener. JMS allows applications to send, receive, and process messages asynchronously, making it a suitable choice for integrating services within PRPC. By configuring a listener, PRPC can listen for incoming messages and process them accordingly, enabling effective communication and integration between different systems.

To disallow access to instances of the MyCo-Work-PolicyApp-Endorse class, the user should use "Access Deny". This access setting will prevent the user from having access to modify instances of the specified class, ensuring that they cannot make any changes to it.

The first option suggests that by taking a DB backup before the import, the system can be restored to its previous state in case of rollback. This ensures that any changes made by the imported Rule-Admin-Product can be undone.

The second option suggests that even though the new rules are in the target system, access to these rules can be controlled by access groups. This means that the customer can still have control over which rules are accessed, providing a solution to the problem without completely rolling back the import.

The rollback method is used to undo a series of operations or changes that have been deferred or queued up. It is capable of rolling back multiple operations in one go, reverting the system to a previous state. This is useful in situations where a set of operations needs to be undone, such as in a transaction or when handling errors. By rolling back the entire deferred stack of operations, any changes made during the execution of those operations are effectively undone, restoring the system to its previous state.

The correct answer is "Converting a Map-Value into a decision table". This is not a refactoring tool provided by PRPC. Refactoring tools are used to restructure code without changing its behavior, and they typically involve renaming, searching, replacing, and merging functionalities. However, converting a Map-Value into a decision table is not a refactoring action but rather a transformation or conversion of one data structure into another.

System-Pulse manages the update process in a multi-node system where PegaRULES is installed. It ensures that each node is updated with rule changes by coordinating the synchronization of the various caches stored on each node.

A Declarative page is the recommended way to configure Service endpoint URLs and other connector specific information. Declarative pages provide a centralized and reusable approach to define and manage connector configurations. They allow for easy maintenance and updates, as any changes made to the declarative page will automatically reflect in all the instances where it is used. Using a declarative page ensures consistency and reduces the need for duplicating configuration settings across multiple pages or processes.

The question is asking which requirement does not require an EAR configuration. An EAR configuration is used to package multiple modules, such as EJBs and JMS, into a single deployable unit. JMS message services, support for two-phase commits, support for EJB services, and J2EE security all typically require an EAR configuration. However, JSR-94 is a specification for rules engines and does not require an EAR configuration.

The first statement is false because the BLOB cannot be easily extracted and used in another system since it is stored in a specific column of a table in a database. The second statement is also false because the BLOB does not contain clear text XML, but rather binary data. The third statement is true as simple tables without embedded pages and page lists do not require the use of "pzPVStream". The fourth statement is true as the BLOB allows for storing complex data structures in a single table, eliminating the need for multiple tables in a non BLOB database.

PAL (Performance Analysis of Logs): PAL is a powerful tool that reads in a performance monitor counter log and analyzes it using known thresholds. It generates an HTML-based report that provides an overview of the performance-related aspects of the server environment. It is very comprehensive for system diagnostics and can provide insights into various system metrics. PAL (Performance Analysis of Logs) is the tool that gives the broadest picture of a system’s overall health.

Connect Wait is used with the run in parallel option to wait for the parallel connection to complete. This means that when running Connect- methods in parallel, the Connect Wait method can be used to pause the execution of the flow until all the parallel connections have completed their tasks. This ensures that the flow does not proceed further until all the parallel connections have finished their execution.

When an access role to an object and an access deny rule are defined on the same class, the access deny rule takes precedence over the access role. This means that the access deny rule will be applied, and the access role will not have any effect on the class.

The Rule Assembly Cache is a memory cache that is utilized to determine the correct instance or existence of the generated Java code on disk, which is then used by the classloader. This cache helps in efficiently managing and accessing the generated Java code, ensuring that the correct version is retrieved when needed.

PRPC will not allow you to use property A in the left hand side of a property-set in a new activity if you created a Rule-Declare-Expression on the target property A first. This is because Rule-Declare-Expression locks the target property for any updates or modifications. Therefore, it cannot be used in a property-set in a new activity.

The correct answer is that Declare expression or Declare Trigger rules can be used to copy a single embedded property to a top-level page property and can be exposed, and Declare Index rules can be used to expose many or all of the items in an embedded list or group. These statements explain two different ways to expose BLOB data in a Pega application. The first statement suggests using Declare expression or Declare Trigger rules to copy a single embedded property to a top-level page property, which allows the data to be easily accessed and exposed. The second statement mentions using Declare Index rules to expose multiple items in an embedded list or group, providing a mechanism to expose BLOB data in bulk.

Partitioning the database helps to optimize the database by dividing it into smaller, more manageable parts. This can improve query performance and make it easier to manage and maintain the database. Avoiding arithmetic operations or functions in the where clause can also optimize the database as it reduces the complexity of the query and allows it to be executed more efficiently. Creating and using indexes effectively can improve query performance by allowing the database to quickly locate the required data.

The explanation for the correct answer is that the Preflight tool checks the Index Warnings table to find which rules have warnings on them. This means that the tool looks for any warnings that have been generated for specific rules and alerts the user to those warnings. By checking the Index Warnings table, the Preflight tool ensures that any potential issues or violations of best practices are identified and can be addressed. This helps to ensure that the application is following the necessary guidelines and standards.

The correct answer is Static Context Cache and Look up list cache. These two caches are disk-based caches because they store data on a disk rather than in memory. Disk-based caches are often used when the amount of data to be cached is too large to fit in memory. They provide a way to store and retrieve data quickly by utilizing the faster read and write speeds of a disk compared to traditional memory storage.

Ruleset prerequisites as specified in the "Requires Ruleset and Versions" fields of the Ruleset form are enforced at runtime: This statement is true because RuleSet prerequisites specified in the "Requires Ruleset and Versions" fields of the Ruleset form define dependencies between different RuleSets. These dependencies are enforced at runtime to ensure that all required RuleSets and their versions are available for execution.

When saving Application rules, Ruleset prerequisites are validated: This statement is true because when saving Application rules (such as Case Type rules, Data Transform rules, etc.), the system validates the RuleSet prerequisites to ensure that all necessary RuleSets and their versions are present. This validation helps maintain consistency and prevents issues during rule execution.

Container managed authentication cannot be used when deploying a PRPC WAR on TOMCAT.

You can update the prlogging.xml file to change the log file names, roll over settings and even add new log files for specific rule type and class within PRPC. This means that you have the flexibility to customize the logging configuration according to your specific requirements, such as specifying different log files for different types of rules or classes.

The Byte Governor Alert (PEGA0004) is triggered when the total number of bytes sent to the browser in an interaction exceeds a byte count threshold. This alert is designed to notify the user when there is an excessive amount of data being sent to the browser, which can lead to performance issues. By monitoring the byte count, the system can identify and address any potential bottlenecks or inefficiencies in the application.

Data-Agent-Queue instances are not locked, which means they can be accessed and modified at runtime. This allows you to have control over the behavior of agents that are working on a locked RuleSet. By being able to modify the Data-Agent-Queue instance, you can make changes to the agent's behavior without having to make changes to the RuleSet itself. This flexibility enables you to adjust the agent's behavior dynamically based on specific conditions or requirements.

The correct answer is that the connector activity does not handle a failure in the connector, and processing is transferred to the Flow problem. This means that if there is an error or failure in the connector, the processing will not be handled within the connector activity itself, but will instead be transferred to the Flow problem for further handling or resolution.

An access group can reference one or more access roles, meaning that multiple roles can be assigned to a single access group, allowing for more granular control over user access and permissions. Security in PRPC can also be controlled at a class level, meaning that access to specific classes and their associated rules can be restricted or granted based on user roles and permissions. This allows for more fine-grained control over who can access and modify specific areas of the application.

Java stack traces are very helpful in debugging because they show the entire execution flow of a program, including the sequence of method calls and the corresponding line numbers where exceptions occur. They can be found in the log file or displayed within the application on the screen. This allows developers to identify the exact location and cause of an exception, making it easier to troubleshoot and fix issues in the code.

PRPC (Pega Rules Process Commander) supports three client-side events: ONCHANGE, ONCLICK, and ONBLUR. These events allow for interactive behavior and user input within the PRPC application. ONCHANGE event is triggered when the value of an input field is changed. ONCLICK event is triggered when a user clicks on an element. ONBLUR event is triggered when an element loses focus, typically when the user clicks outside of an input field. These events enable developers to create dynamic and responsive user interfaces in PRPC.

When creating a Rule-Admin-Product ZIP file, it is important to ensure that all rules are checked-in, otherwise errors may be reported during the creation process. Additionally, when including RuleSet versions in the ZIP file, only major and minor versions are required as all patches will be automatically included. Therefore, the correct statements are: All rules should be checked-in, otherwise errors are reported and You only need to include major and minor Rule-Set versions. All patches will be automatically included.

List Views provide the features of Pagination and Single or Multi Selection. Pagination allows users to navigate through a large set of data by displaying a limited number of records per page. Single or Multi Selection allows users to select one or multiple items from the list. These features enhance the usability and functionality of List Views by providing efficient data navigation and selection capabilities.

Summary Views provide a multi-level report display with drill down capabilities, allowing users to navigate through different levels of data. Additionally, Summary Views allow reporting on tables with a large number of rows (10,000+), thanks to the aggregate first level display. The drill down capability in Summary Views enables users to invoke another Summary View for further analysis. The Summary View rules generate HTML and JSP for display, which can be customized as per requirements.

PRPC includes powerful BAM reports that provide business managers with real-time and historical information to measure and manage business process performance. This statement suggests that PRPC has built-in reporting capabilities that are specifically designed to help business managers track and analyze their business processes. These reports provide real-time and historical data, allowing managers to make informed decisions and improve process performance.

The SmartInfo display can contain a live URL, allowing users to access external websites or resources directly from the display. Additionally, SmartInfo uses AJAX technology, which enables dynamic content updates without requiring a full page reload.

Access groups cannot be referenced from the "Unit" object. Access groups are used to control the level of access and permissions granted to users within an application. They are typically associated with divisions, requestor type definitions, and operator IDs, allowing for the management of access rights. However, units are not directly related to access control, and therefore, access groups cannot be referenced from them.

An extremely large work object can have three performance impacts. Firstly, the persistence to the database will be slower as the Binary Large Object (BLOB) needs to be compressed before being stored. Secondly, when the object is released, it will have garbage collection impacts. Lastly, the large work object will have a large clipboard page footprint, which can consume a significant amount of memory.

Roles in a system define the levels of access to rules that apply to a class and its instances. They can be created and modified using the Role Editor. A role also defines a list of privileges that a user has on a class level. Additionally, an access when rule is used to test whether a system allows or disallows a requestor to perform actions on a specific class.

List View rules allow users to use Excel to add or update work and data. This means that users can manipulate and modify data within the List View using Excel. Additionally, access to List View and Summary View rules can be controlled with privileges, meaning that administrators can restrict or grant access to these rules based on user roles or permissions.
