This content applies only to Pega Cloud environments

Create an activity to define a sequential set of steps to perform the required processing and run the ingestion data flows.

The goal of this procedure is to complete the following tasks:

  1. Create the following rule with sample parameter values:
    Rule typeRule nameRulesetClass
    ActivityExecuteIngestionDFUPlusCDH-Rules:01-01-01UPlus-Work-Ingestion
    Important: When you configure this rule in your system, use the values that are appropriate for your system.
  2. Add the rule to the Execute ingestion utility shape in the process flow in the Ingestion case type.
Before you begin: Create the Ingestion case type. For more information, see Creating a case type to ingest customer data.

The starting point for this procedure is the process flow that you added to the Ingestion case type, as shown in the following figure:
