Q
You can create a Rule-Admin-Product-Patch with the same name both in the MLS RuleSet and in the MyCo RuleSet.
a. Yes - the system will allow for two separate instances of the rule if it is saved in different RuleSets. This practice should be avoided.
b. No - the system does not allow for multiple instances of a Rule-Admin- Product-Patch with the same name.
A
a. Yes - the system will allow for two separate instances of the rule if it is saved in different RuleSets. This practice should be avoided.
Note: You can create a Rule-Admin-Product-Patch with the same name both in the MLS RuleSet and in the MyCo RuleSet. The standard system validations allow you to create the rules with the same name in two different
RuleSets; however, since this can cause confusion it is not considered a best practice.
4
Q
True or False: When migrating a Rule-Admin-Product-Patch from one environment to another, you must first have migrated a Rule-Admin-Product.
A
False
Note: There is no edit when the zip archive is loaded in the system.
5

Choose one answer.
a. To route work
b. To update the status of a work object
c. To add work to a cover or folder
d. All of the above
A
All of the above
Note: There are many out of the box activities that can be used for work-related processing, including routing to a work list or work basket, updating work status based on an input parameter, and adding work to a cover or folder.
6
Q
In which category would you expect to find activities under the Rules by Type tab? Choose one answer. a. Process b. Technical c. Decision d. SysAdmin
A
Technical
Note: Activities are located under the Technical category in the Rules by Type tab in Manage Rules.
7
Q
When processing a For loop or iterating over a Value List or Page List, which standard parameter would you inspect to get the value of the current iteration? Choose one answer. a. pyIterationNumber b. pyForEach c. pyCount d. pyForEachCount
A
pyForEachCount
Note: The standard parameter pyForEachCount holds the index value of the current iteration. Note that if the iteration is a For loop, the increment may be a value other than 1.
8
Q
Which index value would you use when referencing the index of the current property within an iteration? Choose one answer. a. b. c. d.
A
Note: Use the index value of to reference the current property within an iteration.
9
Q
Which of the following statements is false?
a. Local variables can be passed between activities
b. You cannot view local variables and their values in the tracer tool
c. You cannot view the contents of the parameter page in the clipboard viewer
d. You can view parameters and their values in the tracer tool
A
Local variables can be passed between activities
Note: Local Variables cannot be passed between activities and are valid only within the activity where they are set. This is the principle difference between local variables and parameters.
10
Q
True or False: It is possible to comment out an activity step to prevent it from executing.
A
True
Note: To prevent an activity step from executing, comment it out by putting // in the Label column. This is very useful in testing.
11
Q
True or False: You must always define the primary page of an activity on the Pages & Classes tab.
A
False
Note: If you do not define the primary page on the Pages & Classes tab, PRPC assumes the rules ?Applies To? class as the class of the primary page (referenced using the keyword PRIMARY).
12
Q
How do you get the information for the user who has the lock?
Choose one answer.
a. You can?t get the information so you can?t satisfy this requirement
b. Leverage the LockInfoPage to see who has the lock
c. DetermineLockString will lock the claim items for you so this situation will never arise
d. This information is stored in pxRequestor.pxUserIdentifier
A
Leverage the LockInfoPage to see who has the lock
Note: In case a lock failure occurs when you do an obj -open or obj -open-by-handle, you can use the lockinfo text box on the method to specify a page name. The lock information for the object is stored under the pxUpdateOperator on the lockpage.
13
Q
Can a cover and a covered work object belong to different class groups?
A
No
Note: Covers and the work objects they contain must belong to the same application classgroup.
14
Q
What is the difference between a database lock and an object lock?
Choose one answer.
a. Object level locks persist for longer than database level lock and prevent two users from making changes to the record simultaneously
b. Database locks are held for a longer duration than object locks
c. None ? they are the same
A
Object level locks persist for longer than database level lock and prevent two users from making changes to the record simultaneously
Note: An object level lock prevents two people from making changes at the same time, thus protecting work object integrity. If you did not have object level locking, it would be possible for person A to overwrite person B?s changes without realizing that Person B had already written data to the database.
15
Q
What is the entity relationship between covers and covered items? Choose one answer. a. One-to-Many b. Many-to-Many c. Many-to-One d. One-to-One
A
One-to-Many
Note: There is a one-to-many relationship between the cover and its covered work objects. Covered work objects can only belong to one cover.
16
Q
What is the entity relationship between folders and foldered items? Choose one answer. a. One-to-One b. Many-to-One c. One-to-Many d. Many-to-Many
A
Many-to-Many
Note: There is a many-to-many relationship between folders and work objects. The same work object can be added to multiple folders.
17
Q
Which shape allows you to spawn a flow for each element in an embedded list? Choose one answer. a. Spin-Off b. Sub-Flow c. Swim Lane d. Split-forEach
A
Split-forEach
Note: The Split-forEach shape allows you to spawn the same flow for each element in a page list. This allows multiple assignments to be created on the given work object.
18
Q
After a ticket is raised can you resume processing from the point where the ticket was invoked?
Choose one answer.
a. Yes
b. No
A
No
Note: A ticket is a true ?goto? or ?jump? in the process and does not provide any functionality to resume back to where the flow was. The ticket breaks the normal execution of the flow and has no way to resume from where it was raised.
19
Q
What value does having multiple end shapes in a flow provide?
a. None, because you cannot have multiple end shapes in a flow.
b. Helps to keep the flow clean and also provides a status at each end-shape that can be used from the parent flow.
c. It only keeps the flow clean.
d. It allows you to run an activity at each end shape.
A
Helps to keep the flow clean and also provides a status at each end-shape that can be used from the parent flow.
Note: Multiple end shapes allow you to keep the flow clean and at the same set a status at each end shape. This status can then be used by the parent flow to branch the flow down the appropriate path.
20
Q
True or False: Screen flows have the same stencil/flow shapes as any other flow?
True
False
A
False
Note: Screen flows have a limited set of shapes available. This keeps the flows simple and at the same time limits the functionality that can be done for a screen flow.
21
Q
In a java step inside an activity, you need to create an instance of the vector class. What is the valid way to do this in PRPC?
Choose one answer.
a. Vector x = new Vector ()
b. java.util.Vector x = new java.util.Vector()
c. java.library.Vector x = new java.library.Vector()
A
java.util.Vector x = new java.util.Vector()
Note: You must include the java.util.Vector library.
22
Q

Choose one answer.
a. It connects to the database and creates a new page.
b. It finds specific information in the database that can be used for current processing.
c. It associates a database instance with the current processing.
d. It gets a connection to the PegaRULES database instance associated with the current processing
A
It gets a connection to the PegaRULES database instance associated with the current processing
Note: The tools.getDatabase() method enables you to interface with other systems to complete current processing.
23
Q
How do you obtain a lock on a row in the PegaRULES database through the PublicAPI ?
Choose one answer.
a. tools.lock()
b. tools.getDatabase().lock(, false).getLockManager(). ? where is set as a stringmap in a clipboard page
c. tools.getDatabase().getLockManager().lock(, false) ? where is set as a stringmap in a clipboard page.
d. tools.getDatabse().lock()
A
tools.getDatabase().getLockManager().lock(, false) ? where is set as a stringmap in a clipboard page.
Note: You need to include the getLockManager() and lock() methods
24
Q
How would you refer to the step page of a java step in an activity?
Choose one answer.
a. Tools.findPage(myStepPage)
b. Use of the implicitly available instance myStepPage (e.g. myStepPage.addMessage)
c. Tools.findPage(?pagename?)
A
Use of the implicitly available instance myStepPage (e.g. myStepPage.addMessage)
Note: In activity steps, myStepPage is the object of class ClipboardPage. It refers to the page that was defined as the step page for that particular step.
25
Q
What should you do to update an external database?
a. Call your Lead System Architect and ask what you should do.
b. Use the RDB-Save method.
c. Write a java step in an activity that creates and manages the database connection and executes the SQL query.
d. Write a java function that can be called in any activity within the application. More reuse than option A.
A
Use the RDB-Save method.
Note: By using an RDB-Save method, you are developing a system that is built for change. You do not need to worry.
26
```
Which classes are history records created for?
Choose one answer.
a. Work Classes
b. Data Classes
c. Rule Classes
d. All of the Above
```
All of the Above
Note: History is created for work, data, and rule classes.

```
Which of the following are out of the box routing algorithms?
Choose one answer.
a. Route to a balanced skilled group
b. Route to a skilled workbasket
c. Route to a specific user
d. All of the Above
```
All of the Above
Note: PRPC offer out of the box routing activities that should always be reviewed when working with routing. There are out of the box activities to push work to skilled workbaskets, to an individual, or to an individual who has the necessary skills and balance the work to the user with the least amount of work.
28
```
Which concept is associated with Pull Routing?
Choose one answer.
a. Worklist Routing
b. Load Balanced Routing
c. GetNextWork
```
GetNextWork
Note: The GetNextWork concept is used with Pull Routing. The system can determine how to pull work and assign the given work to a user.
29
What drives the order in which work is pulled by the GetNextWork algorithm?
Choose one answer.
a. It is driven by the access group.
b. It is controlled by the Operator ID tab.
c. It is controlled by the application rule.
It is controlled by the Operator ID tab.
Note: The operator ID record allows you to define for each operator how work should be pulled. The work can be pulled from the worklist first or from workbaskets. When deciding how workbaskets should be processed you can now have it pull from the order on the operator ID, or merge all workbaskets first then pull most urgent, or have it pull from all workbaskets for the workgroup.
30
True or False: Can you define SLA's for assignments and also for work objects?
True
Note: SLA's can be defined at each assignment and also for a work object. The work object SLA is defined by the pySLANAME which is set in the model for the work object.
31
The calculation types (e.g. Sum Of, Value Of, etc.) available in a Rule-Declare-Expression are:
Choose one answer.
a. Dependent on the applies to class of the rule.
b. Dependent on if the expression is context-free or context sensitive.
c. Dependent on the type of the input properties.
d. Dependent on the type of the target property.
Dependent on the type of the target property.
Note: Calculation types are only dependent on the type of the target property.
32
Which of the following options in the Change Tracking field enable backward chaining? (Select all that apply)
a. When used if no value present
b. When used if property is missing
c. Whenever used
d. Whenever inputs change
Whenever used
Note: The Whenever inputs change and When applied by a Rule Collection options enable you to forward chain, not backward chain.
33
```
Which of the following rules cannot be called by an expression in a manner in which property changes are tracked?
Choose one answer.
a. Decision Trees
b. Decision Tables
c. Activities
d. Map Values
```
Activities
Note: Activities can only be called via utility function and thus are not changed tracked.
34
The simplest way to test a declarative expression network that performs aggregate functions (e.g. SUM OF) over a list of items is:
Choose one answer.
a. Create an activity that does property-sets on all of the necessary values.
b. Use a model to preset the number of items in the list.
c. Use the standard expression tester (the play button from the expression form) as it supports adding pages to a page list.
Use the standard expression tester (the play button from the expression form) as it supports adding pages to a page list.
Note: The standard expression tester supports adding pages to page lists and allows you to quickly test a number of different values.
35
```
All of the following rule types are executed declaratively except?
Choose one answer.
a. Constraints
b. Activity
c. OnChange
d. Expressions
e. Declare Pages
```
Activity
Note: An activity is executed procedurally rather than declaratively.
36
True or False: Backward chaining expressions always lead to worse performance than forward chaining rules
False
Note: This statement is false because in some situations, such as taking the sum over an aggregate list, backward chaining can improve performance.
37
Which of the following statements regarding naming and best practice is true?
Choose one answer.
a. Declarative page names and load activities can be named using the normal naming rules of PRPC.
b. Load activity names must start with the string ?Load.? Declare Page rules must start ?Declare_.?
c. Declare Page rules must start ?Declare_? as a best practice. Load activities must have an Activity Type of LoadDeclarativePage.
d. The name (key) of a Declare page is its Class followed by its name (purpose), such as DP1-Products.ProductList.
Declare Page rules must start ?Declare_? as a best practice. Load activities must have an Activity Type of LoadDeclarativePage.
Note: The name of the Declare Page rule defines the name of the page it creates. Only activities labeled as LoadDeclarativePage are referencable from a Declare Pages rule.
38
Which of the following statements are True for When rules in Declare Pages? (Select all that apply)
a. The page is refreshed when the When condition evaluates to True.
b. The When rule defines the logic for refreshing a Node scope Declare page.
c. The page is refreshed when the When condition evaluates to False.
d. The When rule defines the logic for refreshing a Thread scope Declare page.
The page is refreshed when the When condition evaluates to False.
The When rule defines the logic for refreshing a Thread scope Declare page.
Note: Thread scoped declared pages can be conditionally refreshed. The When rule that governs this process tests the question, ?Is this page fresh?? If false, the page is stale and is refreshed.
39
Which operation is valid on Declare Pages in the clipboard?
Choose one answer.
a. Executing the Page-Remove method in an activity.
b. Executing the Property-Set method in an activity.
c. Using the Delete Page action in the clipboard Viewer tool.
d. Using the Update Page action in the clipboard Viewer tool.
Executing the Page-Remove method in an activity.
Note: Declare Pages in the clipboard are protected from being altered manually to maintain data integrity. Removal, however, just forces the system to recreate the page when next required.
40
Which of the following is a difference between a declarative page defined as Node level versus Thread level?
Choose one answer.
a. Node level pages are read-only, and Thread level are not
b. Thread level pages can use a When rule to determine if the page needs to be refreshed; Node level cannot.
c. Node level pages must be named Declare_Node_.
d. Node level pages are loaded when PRPC starts up, and Thread level pages are loaded when the user logs in.
Thread level pages can use a When rule to determine if the page needs to be refreshed; Node level cannot.
Note: Node level rules can only be refreshed periodically. They cannot use When logic to determine when to refresh.
41
True or False: Thread level declarative pages can be designed so that they always hold data related to the current work object.
True
Note: Using a When rule you can associate the declarative page with the work object and refresh the declarative page when the work object changes.
42
True or False: You can include a section on a harness that refers to a Declare_ page as long as all fields are marked read-only.
True
Note: Declarative pages can have sections built on them and displayed on a work object
harness.
43
Which of the following is true about debugging declarative pages?
Choose one answer.
a. You can use the Flush Page button on the rule form to force a page to be flushed.
b. The Declare Page Tracer event type allows you to see the loading of declarative pages.
c. PAL contains a number of counters specific to declarative pages.
d. All of the above.
All of the above.
Note: All of the above options can be used in debugging declarative pages.
44
Which of the following statements is false?
Choose one answer.
a. Decision tables can call other decision tables without having to use a utility function.
b. Decision trees can call other decision trees without having to use a utility function.
c. Decision trees can call other decision trees, decision tables, or map values without having to use a utility function.
d. Decision tables can call other decision tables, decision trees, or map values without having to use a utility function.
Decision tables can call other decision tables, decision trees, or map values without having to use a utility function.
Note: Decision tables can only call other decision tables using the Call syntax; to call a
different rule type would require the execution of a utility function.
45
```
Which of the following rule types can take advantage of function aliases to improve the readability of business rules?
Choose one answer.
a. Map Values
b. Decision Trees
c. Decision Tables
d. Declarative Pages

Choose one answer.
a. Rule-Declare-DecisionTable
b. Rule-Obj-MapValue
c. Rule-Obj-Activity
d. Rule-Declare-DecisionTree
```
Rule-Obj-Activity
Note: Activities are normally not delegated to the business as they require a deeper technical knowledge and often do not contain pure business logic.
47
True or False: Decision trees and decision tables allow you to set a number of different properties for each result that is returned.
True
Note: You can set multiple properties per rule using the Take Actions feature on decision
trees and the Additional Action Columns on a decision table.
48
Which of the following statements is true about Rule-Declare-Trigger execution?
Choose one answer.

b. Can programmatically review the changes that caused the rule to fire.
c. Can see the previous value of any changed property.
d. Can be executed by PRPC running a property-set.
Can be executed by PRPC running a property-set.
Note: OnChange rules can be executed by the simple act of changing a property's value.
Triggers require some type of persistence operation to occur.
50
Rule-Declare-OnChange rules are different from Rule-Declare-Expressions in that:
Choose one answer.
a. OnChange rules can execute an activity directly, rather than set a single property.
b. OnChange rules require a front end user to make a change.
c. OnChange rules can only track top level properties.
d. OnChange rules ONLY use backward chaining to track changes whereas expressions can use either forward or backward chaining.
OnChange rules can execute an activity directly, rather than set a single property.
Note: Expressions can only set a single property at a time.

RuleSet prerequisites are part of rule resolution and enforced during run-time. True or False
False
Note: Correct, RuleSet prerequisitesare enforced at development time, not during run-time.
70
You can define a circumstance of a rule if a base rule does not exist. True or False
False
Note: False is the correct answer. A base rule must exist before a circumstanced version can be created.
71
Can you create an agent in Legacy Mode in PRPC v5.5?
| Choose one answer.
No
Note: Legacy Mode was been deprecated in PRPC v5.
72
When you create a Standard Agent to queue work, under which access group does the agent process a work object?
Choose one answer.
a. Its own specified on the security tab.
b. The requestor who queued the work.
c. The access group specified under Data-Admin-Requestor:Batch
d. It doesn't need an access group as the system figures out how to process the queue.
The requestor who queued the work.
Note: Standard agents that use Auto Queue management are context based. They use the same Access Group to run as the requestor who queued the work.
73
What are the three modes in which an agent can run in PRPC v5.5?
a. Legacy
b. Advanced
c. Standard
d. Deprecated
Legacy
Advanced
Standard
Note: Deprecated is not a mode.
74
Can you enable Auto Queue Management for Advanced agents?
No
Note: Auto Queue Management is available only for Standard Agents.
75
Do you have to explicitly create Schedule instances for the Agent on every node?
No
Note: Schedule instances are auto created by PRPC.
76
What is the Agent Manager
Choose one answer.
a. An out of the box agent that manages PRPC requestor sessions and times them out.
b. A master agent that creates schedule instances from Agent definitions.
c. An out of the box agent that manages the queue for standard agents.
d. A master agent that bypasses activity authentication for agents.
A master agent that creates schedule instances from Agent definitions.
77

78
What kind of a cache is the lookup list cache?
Choose one answer.
a. Database level cache for properties and metadata about properties
b. App Server disk based cache
c. App server memeory based cache
d. The only way to cache compiled rules
App Server disk based cache
Note: Lookup list cache is a mechanism to store the results of a query against the database on the application server in the PRPC temporary directory.
79
How do you utilize the lookup list cache?
Choose one answer.
a. By calling @baseclass.lookuplist or one of its subclass variants in an activity step
b. By calling tools.retrieveLookupList() in a java step
c. By calling out of the box supplied Rule Utility Function listLookup
By calling @baseclass.lookuplist or one of its subclass variants in an activity step
Note: @baseclass.lookuplist forms the basis for all lookuplist calls. This activity allows you to specify two parameters for doing lookups.
80
What will happen if the System Pulse does not run in an multi-node environment? Choose Two.
a. Rule changes made on one node will not be visible on other nodes
b. Static content caches won?t be synchronized.
c. Lucene indexes for full text searching won?t be synchronized
d. Property conclusion cache won?t be synchronized
Lucene indexes for full text searching won?t be synchronized
Rule changes made on one node will not be visible on other nodes
Note: general, the following four events are published to the pr_sys_updatescache table:
Cache (changes to the rules)
DELLC (Lookup list cache changes)
Index (Lucene Index)
RFDEL (Rule File Deletes)
The pulse running on each node will wake up and pick the records that were not created by it within the window of time starting with the last pulse run which in turn would invalidate the cache entries on the node and cause RA Cache and possible Rule Instance Cache to be refreshed after compilation of that rule occurs.
81
What is the advantage of Rule Assembly Cache?
Choose one answer.
a. No advantage, databases are superfast and so is code generation this is an overhead
b. Generated and compiled code ensures that there is no further database activity to retrieve rules and makes the system fast
c. Even though the code is generated external systems can update the rules thereby forcing the system to regenerate the rules so there is no advantage
d. First Use Assembly forces the system to regenerate the code every time the system restarts thereby ensuring that the latest rules are always available to the user
Generated and compiled code ensures that there is no further database activity to retrieve rules and makes the system fast
Note: The process of generating java code, compiling it and storing java compiled class files on disk ensures that once a system is primed further database activity is minimized thus ensuring faster performance.
82
What happens if the extract marker file is deleted from the temporary directory?
a. Only Rule-Utility-Function rules are recompiled
b. Previously generated code is moved to the backup directory and full code regeneration occurs
c. The usage of the file is deprecated and it makes no difference if the file is deleted
d. The file is created every time you reboot the application server and tells the system to regenerate the code
Previously generated code is moved to the backup directory and full code regeneration occurs
Note: Contrary to what the contents of the extract marker file says, deleting the file will cause code regeneration and compilation.
83
What is the Rule Instance Cache?
Choose one answer.
a. In Memory Cache of the XML of a frequently accessed rule
b. Disk based cache of the XML of a frequently accessed rule
c. First Use Assembly cache
d. Cache of the generated and instantiated rule instance
In Memory Cache of the XML of a frequently accessed rule
84
What happens if you delete the java file for a rule and restart the system?
Choose one answer.
a. Code is regenerated and compiled again
b. Nothing as the class file still exists
c. Code is retrieved from the PRGenBackup directory and recompiled
d. Class file is deleted and code is regenerated and recompiled
Nothing as the class file still exists
```
Note: The rule execution process is highly optimized if a class file is present it uses that to prevent
compilations.

85
I am trying to find out who is holding the lock on a given work object. What is the best way to do this without trying to lock the object?
Choose one answer.
a. Use Ob-Open-By-Handle and use the LockInfoPage
b. Run a RDB method against the database to see who holds the lock
c. Use the tools.getLockManager().isLocked method in a java step
Use the tools.getLockManager().isLocked method in a java step
Note: The public API has powerful facilities that can be leveraged to find information about locks without locking the work object.
86
I am entering my expense report into PRPC and it always crashes due to bad active controls. I log back in as the same person and I am prompted to release a lock. If I am the same person, why I am prompted to release the lock?
Choose one answer.
a. PRPC locks are held at the requestor level
b. Someone else locked the object while your browser crashed.
c. The lock went soft and someone stole it.
d. The Expense Report system has special code in it that always asks you to release a lock.
PRPC locks are held at the requestor level
Note: All PRPC locks are held at the requestor level. There can be multiple requestors for a given user, which means you can open two IE windows to do work on the same object. Requestor level locking prevents you from opening two windows to work on the same object.
87

What is Requestor Persistence? Choose Two
a. You can put a requestor to sleep on demand.
b. PRPC's way to store requestor details in the database so that sessions can be regenerated on another node in case of a node failure
c. PRPC's way to duplicate a requestor on multiple application servers to do load balancing
d. PRPC's way to reduce the number of concurrent requestors in a JVM by passivating idle or orphaned requestors thereby reducing the impact of memory usage in the JVM
PRPC's way to store requestor details in the database so that sessions can be regenerated on another node in case of a node failure
PRPC's way to reduce the number of concurrent requestors in a JVM by passivating idle or orphaned requestors thereby reducing the impact of memory usage in the JVM
Note: Failover configuration is achievable by configuring two settings in prconfig.xml. PersistRequestor to AtInteractionEnd (?never? ?AtInteractionEnd? ?OnTimeout?) and PersistRequestor/storage to database (?database? ?filesystem?). If failover is not required, but memory space taken by the requestor is a problem, you can choose filesystem instead of database and OnTimeout instead of AtInteractionEnd.

If the client wants to do authentication and authorization using Siteminder, which mode of deployment would you choose?
Choose one answer.
a. Doesn't matter
b. WAR
c. EAR
```
Doesn't matter
Note: Authentication with Siteminder does not require JEE facilities such as JAAS so the mode of deployment can be EAR or WAR.
100
The client has a requirement to do JSR94 integration. What kind of deployment model would you choose?
Choose one answer.
a. EAR with an application server like Tomcat
b. WAR with an application server Websphere
c. EAR with an application server like Weblogic
d. Deployment is not required.
Deployment is not required.
Note: JSR94 invokes PRPC outside the context of the application server so a deployment is NOT required.
101
Select two statements that describe Manifest files.
a. A Manifest file is created by the jar tool and contains the details on when an archive was created and by what JDK.
b. Manifest files can be used to declare classpath dependencies for the WAR file when it is packaged inside an EAR file so that the jar files can be stored at the EAR level, thus reducing the size of the WAR file.
c. Manifest files are a byproduct of doing a deployment on Tomcast and are automatically produced by the Servlet container.
d. Manifest files are usually shipped by the Global Customer Service (GCS) department for Pegasystems and contain hot fixes.
A Manifest file is created by the jar tool and contains the details on when an archive was created and by what JDK.
Manifest files can be used to declare classpath dependencies for the WAR file when it is packaged inside an EAR file so that the jar files can be stored at the EAR level, thus reducing the size of the WAR file.
Note: MANIFEST files are created by the jar tool and can include references to jars located in other places in an EAR hierarchy. These are independent of Pega or a container like
102
A client wants to monitor an email account and create work objects whenever an email is received by that account. However, the client does not support IMAP or POP and can only do MAPI integration. Does PRPC support this out of the box?
No
Note: Javamail only supports POP and IMAP. To do MAPI integration would require a JNI-COM Bridge or
leverage the new Outlook Web services provided by Microsoft.
103
In an EAR deployment are MQ Listeners disabled by default?
Yes
Note: They are disabled by default but can be enabled by making changes to prconfig.xml as they are polling threads which are slower as compared to the dedicated ones in a WAR deployment.
104

The Byte Governor alert is triggered when:
Choose one answer.
a. The number of bytes read or written to the database exceeds the threshold
b. The number of bytes in the clipboard exceeds the threshold
c. The number of bytes read from the database in a single query exceeds the threshold
d. The number of bytes read from all queries in an interaction exceeds the threshold
The number of bytes read from all queries in an interaction exceeds the threshold
Note: The sum of all the bytes read from the database are accumulated for the interaction, and if the sum
exceeds the threshold it triggers this alert. Therefore, when running a number of smaller queries that add
up to a lot of data, the last query that goes over the limit causes the alert.
107
If you get an alert for ?DB Time,? a possible root cause could be all of the following except:
Choose one answer.
a. Too many rows fetched
b. Missing index on a table
c. Lock Contention
d. Too few connections in the connection pool
Too many rows fetched
Note: The time measured by this alert is actually from the time the SQL is sent from PRPC to the database to the time that the database responds that the results are ready. The actual fetching of rows is not included when determining the time for this threshold.
108
Allowing class instances to be stored in a default table is a poor design practice because:
Choose one answer.
a. The default table does not contain adequate indexes and columns for performance
b. Data is purged by the system cleaner.
c. The default table is too small to hold all of your data.
d. The default table names are too generic.
The default table does not contain adequate indexes and columns for performance
Note: The default tables only contain a primary key index and have the minimal set of exposed columns thus
insuring the worst performance. While it is possible to add indexes and expose columns from these OOTB tables, it is better to isolate each class?s instances to a dedicated table and create indexes and columns that are unique to that class.
109
The PAL reading for Bytes read from database Storage Stream refers to?
Choose one answer.
a. How many bytes were read from exposed columns.
b. How many bytes were read from pzInsKey and other PRPC internally used properties.
c. How many bytes were read from pzPvStream.
d. All of the above
e. None of the above
How many bytes were read from pzPvStream.
Note: The term ?Storage Stream? is synonymous with the terms BLOB and pzPvStream . Excessive values
here are potentially due to ListViews and other rules that are not fully relying on exposed columns.
110
pxOutputBytes is a measure of:
a. The number of bytes sent to the browser.
b. The number of bytes sent to PRPC from services.
c. The number of bytes sent to connectors.
d. The number of bytes sent to the PegaRULES database.
The number of bytes sent to the browser.
Note: pxOutputBytes is a key indicator that measures how many bytes are sent from the PRPC server to the
browser. A very large number indicates that too much information or a very complex structure is being
sent to the browser and could be an indication for why the browser machine might be slow, why the
network is strained, and/or why PRPC as a server might be CPU bound in generating all this content.

To speed up ListView reports that refer to certain properties, you can ?expose? the property. Which of the following can be directly exposed?
Choose one answer.
a. Embedded Property
b. Page List/Group
c. Value List/Group
d. None of the above
```
None of the above
Note: When you determine that you need to expose properties for reporting, consider the following guidelines: For single-value, non-embedded properties, you can directly change the schema of the storage
tables by adding new columns for the properties For complex or embedded properties, you must use declarative indexing to expose the properties
114
Since performance related messages are sent to the ALERT Log file, it is not important to inspect the Error Log file. True or False.
False
Note: While most performance related issues will be reported in the ALERT log, there are times that errors
reported in the Error log file are root causes for subtle and indirect performance issues. A clean error log
is a PRPC best practice.
115
The CPU counters for PAL are always available. True or False
False
Note: CPU counters are produced only when PRPC is running on a Windows server, and then only if the
Initialization/ usenativelibrary prconfig.xml setting is enabled.
116
The generation of alerts should be disabled in a production system. True or False
False
Note: It is not possible to disable this feature in PRPC. Also, it is desirable to continue to monitor for and correct alerts that are generated in production.

When creating reports, which of the following performance implications should you consider (select all that apply)?
a. If incorrectly implemented, reports can have a huge drain on the system?s performance.
b. If possible, you should limit untrained resources from changing the fields in the criteria sections (the values are OK), since they may choose fields that are not properly indexed
c. PRPC Reports always run against the same database that is being used for ongoing work transactions. Incorrect
d. You should insist in doing performance tests using a representative amount of data to what you expect in production.

Which TWO statements are true about Access Groups? (Choose Two)
Choose at least one answer.
a. An operator ID record can reference only a single access group.
b. To switch between multiple access groups, users must log off and log back on.
c. In the Work User portal, users can dynamically switch between multiple access groups using a portal drop-down.
d. A requestor Thread (browser, batch, or other) can only be associated with a single access group at a time.
In the Work User portal, users can dynamically switch between multiple access groups using a portal drop-down.
Note: This application selector will be displayed above the work pool selector in the standard WorkUser and WorkManager portals if a user?s operator record references more than one access group.
A requestor Thread (browser, batch, or other) can only be associated with a single access group at a time.
Note: If a user with multiple access groups switches access groups PRPC will create a new Thread and associate that requestor Thread with the selected access group. That means that this session will contain
multiple Threads; each Thread is associated with a single access group.
166
Which two statements are true about access roles?
a. The order in which access roles are referenced in the access group is significant in determining the users access rights.
b. It is a best practice to use standard access roles such as PegaRULES:User4 in lieu of application specific custom access roles.
c. It is a best practice to list only roles for one application in each access group.
d. Access roles implement the PRPC class based security model.
It is a best practice to list only roles for one application in each access group.
Note: As a best practice to reduce future maintenance, list only roles for one application. For workers or managers who routinely work in multiple applications, create separate access groups for each application, and list all but one in the Additional array on the Operator tab of the Operator ID instance.
Access roles implement the PRPC class based security model.
Note: Each access role is comprised of a series of Access of Role to Object instances. Each of these instances controls access of the bearer of the role to a single class. Therefore, security is class based, where each class inherits security properties from their parent classes. Security settings for a leaf class override the settings for its parent classes.
167
Which TWO statements accurately describe Access Roles in PRPC? (Choose Two.)
a. Access of Role to Object rules are not subject to rule resolution
b. Access roles convey privileges to a user
c. Every Access of Role to Object rule instance must have an associated Privilege rule instance
d. Production levels are the only way to control access to the class that the Access of Role to Object instance refer to
Access of Role to Object rules are not subject to rule resolution
```
Note: Rule resolution does not apply to Access of Role to Object rules. Your system can contain at most one
Access of Role to Object rule for each Applies To class and Role Name combination. Stated another way, you can't override Access or Role to Object rules.
```
Access roles convey privileges to a user
Note: The privilege form defines only the existence (name and Applies To class) of a new privilege. It contains no other information and conveys no capabilities by itself. By referencing privileges in Access of Role to Object rules and in certain rules rule types such as flows, privilege rules can affect which application users can do what.
168
Which two statements are true concerning privileges? (Choose Two)
a. Privileges offer finer access control than access roles alone.
b. Privileges can limit operations that can be performed on an attachment category.
c. Users must hold all privileges associated with a flow action in order for the flow action to be available to them.
d. Privileges can be used to enable or disable access to entire classes.
Privileges offer finer access control than access roles alone.
Note: Privileges complement the security and access control features provided by access roles and RuleSet lists, by restricting access to specific rules rather than to entire classes or RuleSet versions.
Privileges can limit operations that can be performed on an attachment category.
Note: The Security tab of the Attachment Category rule form allows you to reference a combination of when rules and privileges to define conditions so that a specific operator is allowed a specific capability while disallowing another.
169
# Choose TWO statements that accurately describe Production Levels in PRPC. (Choose two.)
a. Users with access to production level 3 automatically have access to all higher production levels (4 and 5).
b. Production levels should be used in Access When rules to enable or disable access to an object class.
c. A system's production level should be used to conditionalize certain operations of your application.
d. If the production level of an Access Deny rule is zero (or blank), access to the respective class is permitted.
A system's production level should be used to conditionalize certain operations of your application.
Note: Through System Setting rules, you can assign distinct values for a setting based on the current production level. For example, you can use the production level to circumstance an activity or model, which can be useful when configuring global resource settings, i.e. external server names, URL?s, JNDI?s, etc.
If the production level of an Access Deny rule is zero (or blank), access to the respective class is permitted.
Note: For Access Deny rules, access is denied when the access control value is greater than or equal to the
production level of this system. If an access control field contains 0 or is blank, access is permitted (not denied).
170
To successfully configure the security of a PRPC application, what role should you be assigned in your access group?
a. PegaRULES:SysAdm4
b. PegaRULES:SysArch4
c. PegaRULES:ProArch4
d. PegaRULES:User4
PegaRULES:SysAdm4
Note: You must have the SysAdm role and have the Developer portal assigned to your access group. Only the PegaRULES:SysAdmn4 access role provides sufficient access to be able to create rules of the
Rule-Access child classes, such as Access Role Names, Access of Role to Object, Access Deny, Access
When, etc.

```
In which class would you find out-of-the-box and custom authentication activities?
Choose one answer.
a. Rule-Obj-Activity
b. Code-Security
c. Embed-AccessSetting
d. System-Security
```
Code-Security
Note: Search for ?authentication activities? in the Find Gadget. LDAP authentication activities, the single sign-on sample activities, and the example EstablishOperatorExternally activity all apply to Code-Security. The Authentication Service form expects authentication activities in the Code-Security class.
172
Even if you have a centralized identity management system for authentication and authorization, you will need to keep Operator ID records in the PRPC database. True or False
True
Note: Even if you use an external directory to maintain user credentials and entitlement information (application access), your authentication activity will need to create an operator record in PRPC. PegaRULES needs the operator ID to associate it with work objects, assignments, create drop-down lists for transferring assignments, and so on. The operator record can be created ?on the fly? when the user first logs on to PRPC.
173
```

What is the default error handling mechanism for connector rules generated through the Connector Wizard?
Choose one answer.
a. The connector activity handles the result of the connector via a Transition.
b. The connector activity handles the result of the connector via a Precondition on the step following the call to the connector.
c. The connector activity does not handle a failure in the connector. Processing is transferred to the ConnectionProblem flow.
d. The connector activity does not handle a failure in the connector. Processing is transferred to the FlowProblems flow.
The connector activity does not handle a failure in the connector. Processing is transferred to the ConnectionProblem flow.
Note: The Service tab of a connector rule specifically allows you to identify a flow as the Error Handler Flow.
177
What is the most appropriate data transformation technique given the need to parse out the contents of the following string containing an organization, division, and unit: "BIG.com#BIGDiv#BIGUnit."
a. Use an Apply-Parse-Delimited rule.
b. Use an Apply-Parse-Structured rule.
c. Use an Apply-Parse-XML rule.
d. Use a custom Rule-Utility-Function rule.
Use a custom Rule-Utility-Function rule.
Note: It would be a custom parse to break up the string at the ?#? sign and divide the various portions into
properties representing an Org, Div, and Unit. Although Apply-Parse-Delimited may be used to parse out
information based on a single character delimiter such as ?#?; it is meant to be used to process records of
a file that would be read in via a File Listener.
