Important: The rule type rule-service-COM is deprecated. As appropriate, migrate to Service dotNET rules.

Use Service COM rules to define an interface that lets external users and systems access the Pega 7 Platform data and processing through Microsoft Common Object Model technology.

When the rules forming a package are completed, use the Service Package data instance to generate an ActiveX Dynamic Linked Library (DLL file) that calls the services from Windows-based systems.
