Training program

Pega PRPC platform architecture — layers (framework, implementation, organization), class hierarchy, rulesets, rule resolution
Advanced process modeling — complex case types, stage-based processing, parallel processing, sub-cases, case dependencies
Routing and assignment — worklists, workbaskets, SLA (Service Level Agreements), urgency/priority, cascading routing
Advanced UI — harnesses, sections, dynamic layouts, repeating grids, responsive design, UI guardrails
Circumstancing and rule delegation — rule variants, delegation to business users, specialization by market/product
Exercises: designing complex case type with parallel processing, SLA configuration and circumstancing

Advanced business rules — decision tables, decision trees, map values, constraints, complex when rules
Pega Decisioning — predictive analytics, adaptive models, Next-Best-Action (NBA), strategy framework
Data model and data pages — advanced data types, data transforms, clipboard management, data page caching
Declare expressions and declare triggers — declarative processing, automatic recalculations, events
Activity processing — advanced activities, utility shapes, Java steps, function rules
Exercises: NBA implementation with decision strategy, advanced data model configuration with declare expressions

Pega integration architecture — connectors, services, integration patterns (synchronous, asynchronous, batch)
REST and SOAP connectors — configuration, authentication (OAuth 2.0, API Key, Basic Auth), data mapping, error handling
Database connectors — SQL, stored procedures, generated access rules, optimistic locking
File and email connectors — file processing (CSV, XML, JSON), emails, integration with message queuing systems (JMS, Kafka)
Services — REST service implementation, SOAP services, event processing, listener services
Exercises: integration with external REST API (OAuth 2.0), batch processing implementation with file connector

Pega deployment architecture — topologies (single-node, clustered), load balancing, session management, stateless architecture
Performance optimization — Performance Analyzer (PAL), Tracer, clipboard analyzer, bottleneck identification
Database tuning — indexing, query optimization, database listener, pruning and archiving
Security — Access Control Policies, RBAC (Role-Based Access Control), operator profiles, privilege rules
Encryption and compliance — data masking, encryption at rest/in transit, audit trails, GDPR considerations
Exercises: application profiling with PAL and Tracer, RBAC configuration, query optimization

Application lifecycle management — branching, merging, ruleset versions, pipeline management, deployment
DevOps and CI/CD — Deployment Manager, Pega deployment tools, branching strategies, promotion rules
Test automation — Pega Unit Testing Framework, Scenario Testing, test coverage, regression testing
Design patterns — guardrails, reusable components, modularization, shared rulesets, extension points
Case studies — analysis of Pega deployment architectures in enterprise organizations (banking, insurance, telecommunications)
Final workshop: designing Pega solution architecture — from business requirements to deployment topology
