codeSet

A CodeSet is a name for a set of Java code and JAR files that are stored in the pr_engineclasses table in the PegaRULES database. Analogous to a RuleSet, a CodeSet version has the structure Name:99-99-99, where 99-99-99 is a version.

Version 6.X+ contains two CodeSets, Pega-EngineCode and Customer. The optional Customer CodeSet can identify customer-created and third-party JAR files that are uploaded into the database.

Storing foundation PRPC engine code and other code in the PegaRULES database has multiple advantages:

• Faster startup
• Easier to maintain (apply updates)
• Ensures that all nodes in a cluster are using identical code

The prbootstrap.properties configuration file identifies, at startup, the CodeSet versions in use for a node. Startup processing then extracts the code from the database.
