Improvements to the adaptive models management
Valid from Pega Version 7.2
There are several improvements for managing large sets of adaptive models that make model management faster and easier. In the Adaptive Models Management landing page, you can clear and delete models in bulk. In the Predictors tab of the Adaptive Model rule, you can add multiple predictors. In the Memory estimation tab of the Adaptive Model rule, you can estimate the memory that the Adaptive Decision Manager (ADM) system needs to accommodate the models that use the adaptive model configuration.

Improvements to the HBase data set, HFDS data set, and Hadoop host configuration
Valid from Pega Version 7.2
The Pega 7 Platform features maintenance improvements to the Hadoop host configuration, HBase data set, and Apache Hadoop File System (HDFS) data set. System architects can more easily make HDFS and HBase storage available to business scientists for exploratory analysis and predictive model building.

Data Flow rule enhancements
Valid from Pega Version 7.2
The enhancements to the Data Flow rule facilitate decision execution in real time, batch, and Pega 7 Platform applications. The DataFlow-Execute method in activities can be used to execute and monitor batch runs and real time data flows. In addition, you can configure pre- and post-activities that are executed before and after data flow execution.
