Service REST monitoring

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

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.

Import to and export from network storage

You can import development artifacts from and export development artifacts to network storage. Use the Import wizard, the Export wizard, or the service-enabled system management command-line tool for these activities.

For more information, see Tools for migrating rules and data.

Support for advanced text analysis when routing incoming emails

You can use text entity, category and sentiment analysis during the automatic routing of incoming emails. You provide text analysis of the text-based email content by defining routing rules, so that an automatic decision is made about how to process the received emails by the Pega^® Intelligent Virtual Assistant. You can route the email content to an operator, assign it to a work queue, or open a top-level case with the information.
