Migrate DDS data across various schema versions

Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1

You can use multiple versions of a single Decision Data Store (DDS) data set type in different applications that run on the same Pega® Platform instance and efficiently move data across those versions even if the underlying data schema is different. This solution improves the data management process and simplifies the reuse of existing data.

For more information, see Decision Data Store migration.

Support for PMML version 4.3 in predictive models

Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1

You can now leverage predictive models in the Predictive Model Markup Language (PMML) version 4.3 by importing them into predictive models on Pega® Platform. Pega Platform utilizes a large part of the PMML standard with the exception of some PMML 4.3 features that are not supported in the Predictive Model rule.

For more information, see Support for PMML version 4.3 in predictive models and Creating a predictive model.

Emit remaining event strategy data at the end of a data flow run

Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1

Data flows have been updated to prevent data loss in event strategies. By default, when a batch or a real-time data flow stops and it contains an event strategy with Tumbling windows, all of the events that are in the Tumbling windows are emitted. Event emission triggers further processing in the event strategy, like aggregations and joins.

For more information, see Enhancements to data flows that contain event strategies and Event Strategy rule form - Completing the Event Strategy tab.

Like and bookmark Pulse messages

Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1

You can now like messages that are posted to Pulse and view the number of likes for each message. You can also bookmark the messages that you want to view in your activity feed.

For information about Pulse enhancements, see:

Real-time updates in Pulse

Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1

You can now view real-time updates of messages in Pulse. If a user posts a comment on a Pulse conversation while you are viewing the conversation, you receive a notification in real time, which you can click to refresh the conversation and see the comment.

For information about Pulse enhancements, see:

Customize themes for your application

Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1

You can now customize themes for your application by selecting the background, border, button and text colors; border width; and text font and size. You can further customize themes by using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

For more information, see Customization of themes.

New aggregation functions in event strategies

Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1

You can use new functions in event strategies to build standard and complex aggregations. With new aggregation functions you can detect additional patterns in streams of data and deliver actionable insights.

For more information, see Adding aggregations in event strategies.

Legacy landing pages removed

Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1

The following legacy landing pages and their links in the Designer Studio menu have been removed:

  • Designer Studio > Data Model > Clipboard Pages > Data Pages
  • Designer Studio > Data Model > Clipboard Pages > Undefined Pages
  • Designer Studio > Data Model > Classes & Properties > Class Relationships

The streamlined Designer Studio menu facilitates locating and navigating to landing pages.

For information about the replacements for these landing pages, see Deprecated features.

Service REST monitoring

Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1

You can now monitor response and request data for REST services and view the results in Pega® Platform. The ability to monitor REST services is useful for debugging your application during development, for example, when a request fails. It is not recommended that you monitor REST services in production environments because monitoring might affect performance and depending on the number of incoming service requests, there is a chance that over a period of time, the invocation history might get large enough so that you run out of database space. You can configure monitoring globally for all of your REST services by using the service/EnableglobalMonitoring Dynamic System Setting with owning ruleset Pega-IntegrationEngine, or by using the service package and service rule forms.

For more information, see Service REST monitoring.

Support for intelligent routing in the Email channel

Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1

When you create an Email channel interface to use as a Pega® Intelligent Virtual Assistant, you can now set up automatic routing of the received email content. You define routing rules so that the Email channel is more responsive and makes an informed decision about how to process the email content. The Pega Intelligent Virtual Assistant can automatically assign it to an operator, add it to a work queue, or create a top-level case. In addition, you can configure multiple email accounts to act as the same Pega Intelligent Virtual Assistant.

For more information, see Configuring routing conditions for automatic email handling.
