Service dotNet rules
|
|
Records can be created in various ways. You can add a new record to your application or copy an existing one. You can specialize existing rules by creating a copy in a specific ruleset, against a different class or (in some cases) with a set of circumstance definitions. You may copy data instances but they do not support specialization as they are not versioned.
Based on your use case, the Create, Save As, or Specialization form is used to create the record. The number of fields and available options vary by record type. Start by familiarizing yourself with the generic layout of these forms and their common fields:
This information identifies the key parts and options that are applicable to the record type you are creating.
NOTE: Create a Service Package data instance before creating a Service dotNet rule; the name of the Service Package data instance becomes the first key part of a collection of Service dotNet rules.
Create a Service dotNet rule by selecting Service dotNet from the Integration-Services category.
A Service dotNet rule has three key parts. The class and method name key parts are considered "external" and unrelated to Pega 7 Platformclass and methods, for flexibility.
For example, a service that is already exported and deployed on a client computer may be changed to call a different Pega 7 Platform activity. Because the external representation and the WSDL file hasn't changed, you do not need to redeploy and modify the application code on the client computer.
Field |
Description |
| Customer Package Name |
Select a package name that groups related Service dotNet rules. Choose a name already defined through a Service Package data instance. See About Service Package data instances. |
| Customer Class Name |
Enter a class name to logically group related methods. This name may or may not refer to the class to which the activity belongs, but must be a valid Java identifier. See How to enter a Java identifier. |
|
Identifier |
Enter a method name that describes the function of the activity called by the service; this value must also be a Java identifier. |
When searching for a Service dotNet rule, the system filters candidate rules based on a requestor's RuleSet list of RuleSets and versions.
Circumstance-qualified and time-qualified resolution features are not available for Service dotNet rules. The class hierarchy is not relevant to Service dotNet rule resolution.
