Configuring the DataSet-Execute method for a social media data set

You can automate data management operations on records that are defined by a social media data set (Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube) by using the DataSet-Execute method. You can perform these operations programmatically, instead of doing them manually.

  1. Create an activity rule from the Explorer panel, by clicking Records > Technical > Activity > +Create, to start the DataSet-Execute method.

    For more information, see Activities - Completing the New or Save As form.

  2. Click the activity Steps tab.

  3. In the Method field, enter DataSet-Execute.

  4. In the Step page field, specify the step page on which the method operates, or leave this field blank to use the primary page of this activity.

  5. Optional: Enter a description for the method.

  6. Click the Arrow icon to the left of the Method field to expand the Method Parameters section.

  7. Specify the following parameters:

    1. In the Data Set field, enter the name of the data set that is used to represent a social media (Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube) data source.

    2. In the Operation list, select the type of operation and specify additional settings.

      • Browse — Read all records from the social media (Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube) data source.

        • In the Stop browsing after field, enter a value to define the time threshold for stopping the browse operation (in seconds, minutes, or hours).

        • In the Maximum number of records to read field, enter a value to define the threshold for stopping the browse operation. You can also define this value through an expression.

        • In the Store results in field, define the result page. The result page consists of an existing Code-Pega-List page.
