Compare rule versions in a rule form
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
You can now compare different versions of rules from the menu when you work within a rule form instead of using the Rule Compare utility. You can inspect changes that were made between versions directly on the rule form, make updates, and save any changes to the rule form.
For more information, see Rule version comparison within a rule form.
View all nodes in a cluster from the Cluster Management landing page
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
Use the Cluster Management page to view information for all of the available nodes in a cluster. To view the nodes, click . To access detailed information about a single node, click Actions.
For more information, see System Operations.
Logic-based assignment routing
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
You can now define business logic that controls when and by whom an assignment is processed in a case. By routing assignments to a specific user or group of users, you can help ensure that cases are resolved faster.
For more information, see Logic-based assignment routing.
Support for additional rule types for PegaUnit test cases
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
To compare the expected results with the results that are returned by running a rule, you can now create PegaUnit test cases for the following rule types:
- Activities
- Data transforms
- Strategies
- Decision trees
- Decision tables
After you unit test these rules, you can convert them to test cases and configure assertions on the test cases. You can also set up the clipboard with data before tests are run, and clean up the clipboard after tests are run.
For more information, see PegaUnit testing.
Page assertions are supported for PegaUnit test cases
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
You can now create page assertions for PegaUnit test cases. Because data transforms and activities can create or remove pages, you can configure page assertions to determine whether a page exists after you run PegaUnit test cases.
For more information, see Configuring page assertions.
New Automated Testing landing page
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
The new Automated Testing landing page displays all the PegaUnit test cases in your application. You can use it to quickly access, run, and view results of tests. In addition, if you have the AutomatedTesting privilege enabled, you can switch to the Automated Unit Testing landing page to access rules that are supported by both PegaUnit testing and Automated Unit Testing, such as activities.
For more information, refer to Automated Testing landing page.
More efficient load management strategies for large data pages
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
The processing of large data pages on the Pega 7 Platform server during the packaging of offline apps is now faster and much more memory-efficient, especially in environments with many concurrent users. Server communication with the data source is now also optimized by reducing the number of data transfers to only what is needed. In addition, all types of refresh strategies are supported for large data pages.
For more information, see Tutorial: How to use large data pages to store large reference data in offline mobile apps.
Enhancement for specifying filter conditions in reports
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
You now have the option to select comparison values from a list of available values when you add or edit the filter conditions for a report in Pega Express. This option is available for all columns, except for numeric or text columns when the comparator setting is , Greater than or equal, Less than, or Less than or equal.
For more information, see Adding filter conditions.
New Mobile Apps form for defining and building mobile apps
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
You now create and build mobile apps from the Mobile Apps form instead of from the Mobile tab of the Application rule form. The new console is a control center for mobile apps where you can gather applications, services, components, and settings in one place to fully customize your apps in the Pega 7 Platform. You can create and build one instance of a custom mobile app and define multiple native mobile apps that can use the Pega Mobile SDK. To push notifications to an Android or to an iOS device, you must define an SDK mobile app in the Pega 7 Platform with a certificate set that has push notifications enabled.
For more information, see Configuring a custom mobile app and Configuring push notifications for an SDK app.
Caching of common rules in offline mobile apps
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
To help start offline-enabled mobile apps more quickly from the time when the server was started, you can now cache common Pega 7 Platform rules, including node scope data pages. Optionally, you can also either cache all node scope data pages, with the exception of the selected ones, or cache only the node scope data pages that are explicitly specified. You set up the offline caching options for your custom mobile app in the Advanced tab of the Access Group rule form.
For more information, see the Offline Configuration section in Access Group form - Completing the Advanced tab.
