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 can copy data instances but they do not support specialization because they are not versioned.
Based on your use case, you use the Create, Save As, or Specialization form to create the record. The number of fields and available options varies 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 apply to the record type that you are creating.
Create a Service Package data instance before creating a Service JMS rule; the name of the service package becomes the first key part of a group of related Service JMS rules. The class and method name key parts are considered "external" and unrelated to the Pega Platform class and methods, for flexibility.
Create a Service JMS rule by selecting Service JMS from the Integration-Services category.
A Service JMS rule has three key parts:
Field |
Description |
| Customer Package Name |
Select the name of the service package (instance of the Data-Admin-ServicePackage class); this service package is used to group related Service JMS rules. The service package must exist before you can create the service rule. See About Service Package data instances. If your application is to process requests from this service asynchronously through a background agent, define a Service Request Processor data instance (Data-Admin-RequestProcessor-Service class) with this Customer Package Name value as key. |
| Customer Class Name |
Enter the name of the service class. This is an arbitrary identifier to logically group related methods. This name need not refer to the Pega Platform class that the activity belongs to, but must be a valid Java identifier. See How to enter a Java identifier. |
|
Identifier |
Enter an identifier that describes the Pega Platform activity being called. See How to enter a Java identifier. |
When searching for a Service JMS 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 JMS rules. The class hierarchy is not relevant to Service JMS rule resolution.
