Build the scaffolding for your decision strategies by defining the means to write and read customer, event, and proposition data.

• Data set rules

  Data sets define collections of records, allowing you to set up instances that make use of data abstraction to represent data stored in different sources and formats.

• Database Management

  After enabling the key DSM services, define the sources of data to use in your decision strategies.

• Simulation and Reporting

  To run simulations of your strategies and to gather monitoring data, create data sets that provide mock data for these tests.

• File storage

  Configure local and remote storages to use them as data sources for your decision strategies.

• Run-time data

  Connect to large streams of real-time event and customer data to make your strategies and models more accurate.

• Data transfer

  Transfer data outside of Pega Platform and between data sets or Pega Platform instances by importing and exporting .zip files.

• DataSet-Execute method

  Apply the DataSet-Execute method to perform data management operations on records that are defined by data set instances. By using the DataSet-Execute method, you can automate these operations and perform them programmatically instead of doing them manually. For example, you can automatically retrieve data from a data set every day at a certain hour and further process, analyze, or filter the data in a data flow.
