Question 1 Single choice

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.

  1. A

    100

  2. B

    130

  3. C

    70

  4. D

    90

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The initial urgency is set at 20. At 5 hours, the urgency increases by 10 (total 30). At 8 hours, the urgency increases by 20 (total 50). After the deadline, the urgency increases by 20 every 2 hours, up to a limit of 5 events. By 16 hours, all 5 events have occurred, adding 100 to the urgency, leading to a total urgency of
150

(initial 20 + goal 10 + deadline 20 + passed deadline 100).

Pega official documentation on relevant records.

Question 3 Single choice

A form must support accessibility.

How do you enable a user to specify a date?

  1. A

    Configure a text box to allow date entry.

  2. B

    Use a calendar control that displays an entire year.

  3. C

    Use a calendar control that displays an entire month.

  4. D

    Provide separate controls for month, day, and year.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

To support accessibility, it's recommended to use a calendar control that displays an entire month. This allows users who rely on screen readers or keyboard navigation to select a date without the need for precise mouse control or having to manually input the date, which can be error-prone.

Question 4 Single choice

How do you enable field-level auditing for properties?

  1. A

    Add a field validation to the case workflow.

  2. B

    Add an auditing optional action to the case workflow.

  3. C

    Enable the auditing feature on the property rule forms.

  4. D

    Enable field-level auditing for the case type.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Field-level auditing is enabled directly on the property rule form, where you can specify that changes to the property should be audited. This ensures that any changes to the field are tracked and recorded.

Question 5 Single choice

An application contains the class group MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work. There are two classes derived from Work-class:

MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work-TimeOff
MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work-Expense If a report is created in MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work, what instances will the report return?

  1. A

    Instances of MyCo-HR-SeifService-Work-TimeOffana' MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work-Expense, unless they are stored in different database tables

  2. B

    Instances of all Work-derived classes

  3. C

    Instances of MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work

  4. D

    Instances of MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work-TimeOff and MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work-Expense

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B

Question 6 Single choice

Which requirement is a prerequisite for configuring a Pega Web Mashup?

  1. A

    No outstanding Guardrail violations

  2. B

    A web server to test your host page

  3. C

    At least one work queue in your application

  4. D

    At least one Access control policy rule

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A prerequisite for configuring a Pega Web Mashup is having a web server to test your host page. This is because the mashup will be embedded within a webpage, and testing on a web server ensures that the integration works as expected before going live.

Pega official documentation on Pega Web Mashup prerequisites.

Question 7 Single choice

A Pega PlatformTM application has just been integrated with an external data source.

Which of the following tests do you perform to ensure that the integration passes data as expected?

  1. A

    Scenario test

  2. B

    Automation test

  3. C

    Performance test

  4. D

    Unit test

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Unit tests are the first line of testing when ensuring that an integration passes data as expected. They are designed to test individual parts of the code -- in this case, the integration point with an external data source -- to confirm that it works properly in isolation.

Question 8 Single choice

What is the difference between using the Call and Branch methods in an activity step to invoke other activities?

  1. A

    Call provides more robust debugging capability than Branch, while Branch provides better run-time performance.

  2. B

    Branch overrides the security restrictions of the called activity allowing you to easily test code; it will not
    run in production.

  3. C

    Branch creates a new thread to allow asynchronous processing, while Call runs in the thread from it was invoked.

  4. D

    Call returns to the originating activity, while Branch skips the remainder of the originating activity.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The difference between using the Call and Branch methods in an activity step to invoke other activities is that Call will return to the originating activity once the called activity completes, while Branch will not return to the originating activity and will skip the remainder of it after the called activity completes.

Pega official documentation on activity methods.

Question 9 Single choice

The primary purpose of a production ruleset is to allow rules to be

  1. A

    tested in a production environment

  2. B

    updated in a production environment

  3. C

    reused in multiple production environments

  4. D

    migrated to a production environment

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The primary purpose of a production ruleset is to allow rules to be updated in a production environment.
Production rulesets are designed to hold rules that business users can modify directly in a production environment without requiring a deployment from development through testing environments. This enables quick changes to be made to decision tables, correspondence, and other rule types that business users are permitted to change.
References:
Pega official documentation on ruleset types.

Question 10 Single choice

The Static Assembler is used to address rules assembly issues due to which cause?

  1. A

    The server is managing a large number of rules caches.

  2. B

    Access groups contain multiple production rulesets.

  3. C

    A new application is migrated to the production system.

  4. D

    The application record lists several branch rulesets.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A

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.
