Learn how to effectively manage your integrations in Pega Platform. For example, you can categorize your application settings to make them easier to search for and to better understand their purpose.

• Categorizing application settings

  Create categories to organize your application settings to make it easier for users to search for application settings and understand their purpose. For example, if you create a category called Integration, you can apply this category to application settings that relate to integrating with customer data.

• Viewing application settings

  You can view, search for, and edit application settings by using the Application settings landing page in App Studio. The landing page displays the application settings that correspond to the current production environment that you are using.

• Upgrading REST connectors in App Studio

  Upgrade REST connectors that you created in App Studio to take advantage of the application settings infrastructure in Pega Platform.

• Upgrading REST connectors with URLs not sourced from a Global Resource Setting

  Take advantage of all available configuration options for a URL by upgrading REST connectors with URLs that are not sourced from a Global Resource Setting (GRS) to reference an application setting.

• Upgrading REST connectors sourced from a Global Resource Setting

  Take advantage of all available configuration options for a URL by upgrading REST connectors with URLs that are sourced from a Global Resource Setting (GRS), for example, =D_GRSDemoProject.URL.

• Upgrading REST connectors with URLs that only contain parameters

  Because the URL configuration is not compatible with the new configuration, update URLs that contain only parameters, for example, {host}/{path}/{type}/{name}/{version}, before upgrading REST connectors.

• Configuring dynamic references to external systems by using the Global Resource Settings feature

  When you migrate applications from one server or environment to another, references to the external systems that those applications connect to, such as endpoint URLs and JNDI servers, might change. By using the Global Resource Settings feature, you can set values for these references without hard coding them into your application.
