Integrating REST connectors with your implementation application

Updated on March 16, 2021

To execute an end-to-end functionality of the service cases, configure REST connectors with the real-time integration or simulated activities provided in the application.

Pega Customer Service Implementation Guide

In the absence of a real-time integration, REST connectors are configured with simulation activities to integrate the service cases successfully. The following service cases use REST connectors to update other systems (such as payment gateway or fulfillment systems).

Follow these steps to simulate a REST connector:

  1. In the Explorer panel, click Records.
  2. Click Integration-Connectors > Connect REST.
  3. In the Service Name column, click the filter icon, enter the REST connector service name from the REST connectors with respective simulation activity table into the Search Text field, and then click Apply.
  4. Select the REST connector service name item from the list that corresponds to the service case in the Applies To column.
    Result: The Connect REST: Validate Eligibility And Compatibility page opens.
  5. On the Service tab, click Simulations at the bottom of the work area.
  6. Enter the Simulation Activity in the text field, and then select the Global radio button.
  7. Click Apply Changes.
  8. Repeat the steps for other service cases listed in the table.
  9. Click Save to save and update the service cases.
What to do next:

After you validate the service cases in your simulation environment, ensure that you update the REST Connectors in your new implementation application. For more information, see Creating a REST integration.
