Pegasystems PEGACPSSA23V1 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 101:

  A hospital uses a case type to manage the treatment of patients visiting the Emergency Room (ER). Cases are created when the patient checks in at the registration desk, and are resolved when the patient is released from the hospital.

  Stakeholders identify the following security requirements for the case type.

  Patients access cases on a read-only basis.

  Patients can only access their own cases.

  Doctors and nurses can modify cases throughout the case life cycle.

  Only doctors are allowed to write prescriptions.

  What two steps, when performed together, allow you to ensure that patients can read, but not edit, cases? (Choose Two)

  A. Configure an Access of Role to Object rule with the open case action set to 5.
  B. Configure an Access Role to Object rule with the open case action set to 1.
  C. Configure an access control policy condition to test whether the user is a patient.
  D. Create an access group unique to patients.
  A. Configure an Access of Role to Object rule with the open case action set to 5.

  ---

  Explanation

  To ensure that patients can read but not edit cases in the hospital's ER case management system, two steps need to be taken. First, configure an Access Role to Object rule with the open case action set to 1 (B), which grants read-only access. This ensures that patients can view their cases without the ability to make any modifications. Secondly, create an access group unique to patients (D). This access group would include the Access Role to Object rule configured in the previous step. By associating patients with this access group, it ensures that they are granted the appropriate level of access to their cases, fulfilling the security requirements specified by the stakeholders.

• Question 103:

  A courier company wants to create a mobile app to scan and track the parcels collected from remote areas that are without internet access. Which mobile app do you develop to fulfill the requirement?

  A. SDK app
  B. Native app
  C. Unsigned app
  D. Signed app
  B. Native app

  ---

  Explanation

  A native app is suitable for remote areas without internet access because it can be installed on the device and has the capability to function offline. This allows the courier company employees to scan and track parcels regardless of internet connectivity.

• Question 104:

  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
  C. By using REST calls from the Pega API

  ---

  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 105:

  Which two situations are likely to negatively impact application performance? (Choose Two)

  A. A report definition generates report data based on several properties stored in the BLOB.
  B. Business architects have delegated a large number of rules to process owners.
  C. A developer uses an SQL query tool or activities to archive case data before purging tables.
  D. Several applications on the system write cases to the pr_other table in the database.
  A. A report definition generates report data based on several properties stored in the BLOB.
  D. Several applications on the system write cases to the pr_other table in the database.

  ---

  Explanation

  Generating report data based on several properties stored in the BLOB (Binary Large Object) can impact performance because it requires full database table scans. Using SQL query tools or activities to archive case data before purging tables can also negatively impact performance, as they may not be optimized for the Pega Platform's data structures.

• Question 106:

  You want to create a new minor version of an application ruleset to add a new feature to your application. The new feature will be made available to users in a phased rollout. How do you update the application to add the new ruleset version?

  A. Create a branch ruleset and a new application, and add the branch ruleset to the application.
  B. Lock and roll the existing ruleset, and create a new application version.
  C. Lock and roll the existing ruleset, and update the existing application version.
  D. Create a new application version and add the new ruleset version as a production ruleset.
  C. Lock and roll the existing ruleset, and update the existing application version.

  ---

  Explanation

  To add a new minor version of an application ruleset for a phased rollout, you would lock the current version of the ruleset to prevent further changes (this is referred to as "rolling" the ruleset), and then create a new minor version. The application record should be updated to reference this new minor version of the ruleset. This ensures that the new features can be tested and gradually released to the user base without the need to create a completely new application version.

• Question 107:

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

  A. No outstanding Guardrail violations
  B. A web server to test your host page
  C. At least one work queue in your application
  D. At least one Access control policy rule
  B. A web server to test your host page

  ---

  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.

• Question 108:

  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.
  A. Access data page with a predefined key so that, once loaded, data access is faster.

  ---

  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 109:

  On which type of rule can you configure edit validate rules?

  A. Properties
  B. Flow actions
  C. Activities
  D. Case types
  A. Properties

  ---

  Explanation

  Edit validate rules are associated with properties to validate the property value when a user inputs data. Edit validate rules contain a Java function that is called to check the property value for correctness.

• Question 110:

  Application Settings allow you to____________.

  A. simulate data in an environment for testing purposes
  B. automate the application migration process
  C. execute connectors in parallel to improve performance
  D. store references to an external system connected to an application
  D. store references to an external system connected to an application

  ---

  Explanation

  Application Settings allow you to store references to an external system connected to an application. These settings can be used to manage environment-specific parameters such as URLs, file paths, and other data that may vary between development, testing, and production environments.
