Standard Data Transforms
Naming convention
By convention, the
Pega Platform
includes a standard data transform
named
pyDefault
for most standard concrete classes and several standard
abstract classes. For example, the
Data-Admin-Operator-ID.pyDefault
data
transform provides initial values for about 25 properties in the Operator ID data instance.
This is not a reserved name and has no special characteristics. You may create data transforms with this name or other names in any class or RuleSet.
Data transforms that apply to classes derived from Work-
Whenever a new work item is created, the Pega Platform uses the pyFlowName property in the object to identify a flow rule to start.
If you create a data transform named
pyDefault
with the Applies To key
part class derived from the
Work-
base class, include a value for the
pyFlowName
property. In most cases, select the Call SuperClass data
transform check box to apply the ancestor
pyDefault
data transforms also.
Set the value of this property to the Flow Name key part of a flow rule. When a user starts a new flow in the context of that Work- class, the system uses this value, with rule resolution to find the flow rule to run.
Applies To | Data transform | Purpose |
Work- | pyCopyDefault | Determines which properties are copied when a user copies a work item. |
Work- | pyDefault | Provides default initial values for properties in new work items. |
Work-Cover- | pyDefault | Provides default initial values for properties in new work items that are covers. |
Work-Folder- | pyDefault | Provides default initial values for properties in new work items that are folders. |
Work-.RuleCheckin | pyDefault | Provides default initial values for properties in new work items for the rule check-in flow. |
PegaSample-SimpleTask | pyDefault | Demonstrates entry of a Simple Task work item, not part of a cover. |
PegaSample-CustomerRequest | pyDefault | Demonstrates entry of a cover work item. |
PegaSample-Task | pyDefault | Demonstrates entry of a covered work item. |
Data transforms that apply to System-User-MyRules class
By default, the order and link labels for reports in the Monitor Activity work area are controlled by data transforms with System-User-MyRules as the Applies To key part. Override these standard data transforms and then modify your rule to reference and label reports as desired.
Applies To | Data transform | Purpose |
System-User-MyRules | AssignmentMonitoringReports | Determines the order and labels of reports (that are available to all users) in the Monitor Assignments area of the Monitor Activity work area. |
System-User-MyRules | DataReports | Not used in PRPC Version 6. |
System-User-MyRules | PerformanceAnalysisReports | Determines the order and labels of reports (that are available to all users) in the Analyze Performance area of the Monitor Activity work area. |
System-User-MyRules | RuleReports | Not used in PRPC Version 6. |
System-User-MyRules | WorkAnalysisReports | Determines the order and labels of reports (that are available to all users) in the Analyze Process Quality area of the Monitor Activity work area. |
System-User-MyRules | WorkMonitoringReports | Determines the order and labels of reports (that are available to all users) in the Monitor Processes area of the Monitor Activity work area. |
Other standard data transforms
Applies To | Data transform | Purpose |
(various) | pyTrackSecurityChanges | Affects data retained in history for data objects or rules. |
