Expose properties in Decision Data Store
Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1
You can now expose properties in Cassandra-based Decision Data Store data sets. With this solution, you can update single properties in extended customer analytic records (XCAR) without having to update the full customer record.
For more information, see XCAR in Decision Data Store.
Enhancements to bulk editing options for unversioned propositions
Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1
Bulk editing options for unversioned propositions have been enhanced to allow the use of Excel for editing. You can export and import unversioned propositions into Excel by using the Import wizard. Additionally, data types replace decision tables as the new storage format for unversioned propositions.
For more information, see Data type management and Proposition management enhancements.
Reuse existing propositions across applications
Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1
You can reuse existing propositions from built-on applications by using a new wizard to copy proposition groups across applications. This wizard gives you more options and flexibility when you define the business hierarchy in your application.
For more information, see Proposition management enhancements.
Class structure expanded for surveys and questions
Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1
You can now create surveys and questions at any class level. Because there is no longer a restriction on which class of flows can use the Survey and Question smart shapes, you can create more contextual surveys that reference embedded properties, or instances of classes, that you define outside the Work- class structure.
For more information about using the Survey or Question smart shapes in a flow, see Integration methods for surveys.
Locatable pages are deprecated
Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1
Locatable pages are deprecated. Use a data page instead. Data pages provide improved performance. When you save a rule that has a Locate Page Activity or when you create an activity of type Locate page, a guardrail warning is displayed indicating that this feature has been deprecated.
For information about data pages, see Data pages.
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.
