status

Several standard properties record the status of rules, work items, assignments, and other instances.

Rule status

The Rule-.pyMethodStatus property indicates how a rule is used in the system. Options include:

• API — Treat this rule as an interface that defines a standard set of parameters and behavior. Rules with this status most likely do not change in future releases.
• Deprecated — Avoid using this rule. It no longer follows recommended development practices and may not be supported in a future release. Use supported alternatives.
• Extension — Override this rule to meet your implementation class needs. Extension points are found in PRPC and frameworks.
• Template — Use this rule as a starting point for newly created rules.

A blank status indicates there are no special use cases for a rule. You can update a rule's status by using options in the rule form header.

Work item status

The Work-.pyStatusWork property defines whether the work item is open or resolved. Values for this property are restricted to a set defined by field value rules. Changes to this property value convey information about the progress of the work item towards completion.

Method status

The Code-Pega-Thread.pxMethodStatus property records the outcome of a method used in an activity step. As a best practice, test this value after each step that can fail.

Assignment status

The Assign-.pyAssignmentStatus property records your judgment about an assignment on your worklist.

Page validation status

The @baseclass.pzStatus property records the internal status of a page or instance (valid or invalid). An invalid instance is one that fails data dictionary editing. An invalid clipboard page is one that contains one or more property values that do not pass data dictionary editing — validations defined in the Rule-Obj-Property rule defining that property.
