Connecting a data object to a system of record

You typically connect a data object to a system of record when you first create a data object. For example, for an Employee data object, you might connect to a system of record that populates the data object with employee information fields, such as Name, Department, or Start Date. However, you can connect an existing data object to a system of record after creation by completing the following steps.

1. In the navigation pane of App Studio, click Data.
2. Under Data, click Data objects and integrations.
3. Click a data object.
4. Click the Data views tab.
5. Click Connect to system of record.
   The System field displays Pega as the default system.
   • To connect to a Pega system of record, accept the default.
   • To create a new system to connect to an external database, click Create new.
6. Click Submit.
   Result: The Data views tab displays the data view name, type, and database source.
7. Click Save.
