More about Requestor Type data instances

Requestors may be unauthenticated, known as guest users, or authenticated.
The access groups and activities specified in requestor type instances are the minimum necessary to provide access as a guest. To acquire more capabilities, a requestor can become authenticated, usually by supplying an ID and password that matches those in an Operator ID instance.
The system name (from a Data-Admin-System instance) is a key part of each requestor type instance. As part of changing a system name, copy each requestor type (using Save As) to reflect the new name. See When and how to change a system name.
A BATCH requestor — for
example an agent or service — can achieve a degree of parallel
processing by starting a second requestor through a Java step similar to
the following PublicAPI call: SR-187
tools.getRequestor().queueBatchActivity("<Applies To class>", " <activity-name>", tools.getParameterPage());
The requestor can send parameters to the called activity on the current activity's parameter page. The second requestor session has the same access group as the current requestor session. It executes the activity and terminates.
The combined throughput of both requestors depends on available JVM memory, processor, and other demands on the system.
Use care to avoid locking, contention, and
deadlocks when using this facility,
Guest users — unauthenticated requestors — typically have access to rules in the RuleSets provided in the PRPC:Unauthenticated access group, as referenced in the Requestor type instance named pega.BROWSER.
If you update the BROWSER requestor
type to reference a different access group, or update the
PRPC:Unauthenticated access group to make additional
RuleSets available to unauthenticated users, review carefully the
Authenticate? checkbox on the Security tab of each activity in the RuleSets. Select
this checkbox for all but those specific activities that guests need to
run. GARFJ 2/2007
