New Dynamic System Setting for proposition management
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.8
A new Dynamic System Setting affects the process of creating new groups on the Proposition Management landing page.
When the PropositionManagement/isOnlyVersionedProposition parameter is set to true, users can only create the versioned propositions.
When the PropositionManagement/isOnlyVersionedProposition parameter is set to false, the Create Group dialog allows users to create either the versioned or unversioned propositions (the Create versioned proposition data check box and the Decision data rule section are both displayed).
Real-time event processing
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.9
Real-time event processing is a mechanism that can be used to analyze a high velocity stream of events entering the system and derive conclusions from them. It is possible to define metrics, measurements, and conditions under which subsequent trigger events are generated.
For details, see Real-time event processing.
