The Data-base class is an abstract class above dozens of other classes that define and contain static data and cumulative data.

Data- classes typically do not replicate information stored in other databases; such information is accessed from a Process Commander system with connectors.

However, Process Commander applications often retain essential. frequently used data in the PegaRULES database, organized into concrete classes derived from the Data- base class. For example, the Data-Admin-Operator- classes contain information created by your Process Commander developers that define who can use the application, their privileges and security, and where they belong in the organization.

Other concrete Data- classes contain e-mail messages, correspondence, and other permanent or enduring cumulative information produced by the application as it runs.

To define a list view or summary view rule to report on instances of a concrete Data- class, select File > New > Report > Data. This starts the Report Wizard with an appropriate category and list of concrete classes.

Don't confuse the single Data- base class — a top-level abstract class in the system — with the system's databases, one of which is known as the PegaRULES database.
