Standard libraries

The Pega Platformcontains several standard library rules. Each belongs to one of the four standard rulesets that define PegaRULES.

Use the Records Explorer to view a complete list of the standard and custom libraries in your system and the functions in each library available to you.

Most standard rules belong to a locked ruleset version. However, you can update standard library rules — those library rules that have PegaRULES, Pega-ProCom, Pega-WB or Pega-IntSvcs as the first key part. Use extreme care when altering these libraries, because correct operation of the generated libraries is vital. As a precaution, print out or make a copy of the original version before changing the standard rule. Your changes may be overridden when a new version of the Pega Platform is installed.

Libraries named MapFrom or MapTo (in any ruleset) have special uses. These libraries can contain functions that extend the capabilities of data mapping on service and connector forms. Consult Integrating with External Systems 5.2 for more information on custom data mapping functions. (The standard MapTo library contains functions supporting Parse Delimited rules.)

This list does not include libraries in the Pega-WB RuleSet. Except as instructed by Pegasystems Global Support, avoid use of functions in the Pega-WB libraries, as they are subject to change from product release to product release.
