Connect SAPJCo rules
Completing the Create, Save As or Specialization form

Records can be created in various ways. You can add a new record to your application or copy an existing one. You can specialize existing rules by creating a copy in a specific ruleset, against a different class or (in some cases) with a set of circumstance definitions. You may copy data instances but they do not support specialization as they are not versioned.

Based on your use case, the Create, Save As or Specialization form is used to create the record. The number of fields and available options vary by record type. Start by familiarizing yourself with the generic layout of these forms and their common fields:

• Completing the Create form
• Completing the Save As form
• Completing the Specialization form

This help topic identifies the key parts and options that are applicable to the record type you are creating.

NOTE: To generate Connect SAPJCo rules, the Connector and Metadata Accelerator requires prerequisite software provided by SAP, as well as JAR files you create based on the SAP Business API. For information on prerequisites and working with Connect SAPJCo connectors, see "Before You Begin" in the Connect SAPJCo Connectors section of the PDN article Pega Process Extender for SAP Business Suite.

Create a Connect SAPJCo rule by selecting Connect SAPJCo from the Integration-Connectors category. Right-click and select New.

Key parts:

A Connect SAPJCo rule has two key parts:

Rule resolution

When searching for rules of this type, the system:

• Filters candidate rules based on a requestor's ruleset list of rulesets and versions
• Searches through ancestor classes in the class hierarchy for candidates when no matching rule is found in the starting class.

Time-qualified and circumstance-qualified rule resolution features are not available for this rule type.
