Property modes

Types of Property modes

SNO	Property Type	Description
1	Single Value	Single Value properties can contain a single text string value. Text, numbers, dates, Boolean values, and amounts are stored in Single Value mode properties
2	Value List	Value List property can contain an ordered list of single values. If you create a Value List property named EmployeeName, you can use it to hold a list of values. For example, you can use an activity or an HTML form to set EmployeeName (1) to John and EmployeeName (2) to Jack. After setting these values, the EmployeeName Value List contains EmployeeName (1) and EmployeeName (2).
3	Value Group	Value Group property can contain an unordered group of single values. If you create a Value Group property named Marks, you can use it to hold a group of values. For example, you can use an activity or an HTML form to set Marks(John) to 50 and Marks(Jack) to 80. Marks(John) and Marks(Jack) become elements of the Marks Value Group.
4	Page	Page property can contain an embedded page as its value. For example, a Page mode property named EmployeeDetails can contain information about the employee, such as the Employee name, account number, and so on.
5	Page List	Page List property can contain an ordered list of embedded pages. For example, a Page List property named Contacts can contain the pages Contact (1), Contact (2), Contact (3), and so on.
6	Page Group	Page Group property can contain an unordered group of embedded pages. For example, the standard Page Group property named Work-.pyWorkParty can contain pyWorkParty (Employee), pyWorkParty (Manager), pyWorkParty (Staff), and so on.
7	Java Object	Java Object property mode indicates that this property holds on the clipboard a reference to an instance of a Java object.
8	Java Object List	Select Java Object List to indicate that this property can contain an array of references to instances of Java objects. The first element in the array is identified by the 1 subscript, not the 0 subscript.
9	Java Object Group	Select Java Object Group to indicate that this property can contain an unordered group of references to instances of Java objects.
10	Java Property	Select Java Property to indicate that this property represents a single property of a Java class that defines an external Java object.
11	Java Property List	Select Java Property List to indicate that this property represents an array property of a Java class that defines an external Java object.

What is Property?

What is a Property?

Property provides labels or addresses for values that can be associated with a class

Property is a type of rule, an instance of the Rule-Obj-Property rule type

Properties are defined in Work class hierarchy to hold data

For instances contained in the database, a property corresponds to a database column.

The term property also applies to the labels for values contained in most clipboard pages.

In process commander properties are of two types

1. Single Value Properties: Properties that has single text string value

2. Aggregate Properties:

· A property of mode Page, Page List, Page Group , Value List or Value Group is known as an aggregate property

Aggregate properties provide facilities similar to arrays, repeating groups, and unordered sets or collections found in other development tools

What is BPM?

1.1 What is BPM?

Business Process Management is a business management methodology, which objective is to improve productivity and organizational effectiveness through the optimization of business processes.

A Business process is a collection of activities and tasks that produce something of value to organization or its customers.

BPM is a set of tools and services that support human and application interaction with business process.

The basic idea is to manage, in a unified manner, processes, people and information for all activities of the company.

What’s new in PRPC V6.1 Service Pack 2 ?

What’s new in PRPC V6.1 Service Pack 2 ?

PRPC V6.1 Service Pack 2 is introduced in October, 2010 which has many enhancements in the following areas:

• Platform and performance
• Supporting the business analyst
• Enhanced reporting capabilities
• Case Management
• Integration
• User Interface
• System Management

Platform and Performance

· You can install SP2 on IBM’s zSeries mainframes using x/OS DB2 for the database and WebSphere 6.X as the application server.

· The standard composite portals Manager and User are tested and supported for use with Google’s Chrome browser, versions 5 and 6. With appropriate care, applications you build can also operate correctly using the Chrome browser. (Firefox and Safari remain additional browser choices for application users.)

· You can use Microsoft Office 2010 programs with SP2, including Visio 2010, Word 2010, and Excel 2010.

SP2 offers improved performance in multiple areas, including rule assembly, database access, and client UI operations.

Supporting the business analyst

A new portal supports the distinctive needs of business analysts, providing a focused alternative to the Designer Studio. The portal provides access to the Discovery map, use cases, and Key performance indicators.

Enhanced reporting capabilities

· A report can select rows based on comparisons of two property values, such as “UpdateDate is greater than DueDate”.

· When selecting columns for a report, you can include fields from joined abstract classes.

· Categories and shortcuts are rule types, and so can be migrated as part of an application ZIP archive.

Most of the new features are available to managers (as well as developers), through the Report Browser and Report Viewer, rather than only through the rule form. New help topics are available to managers using the Report Browser or Report Viewer.

Eighty new standard function alias rules reduce the need for custom-crafted “getContent” activities that select, sort, or compute values for reports. Many involve date computations, such as “within the last month”. IN addition to these standard function alias rules, you can crate custom function alias rules as needed for SQL calculations.

You can present, in a report, data from multiple classes through multiple joins that form a cascade.

Case Management Support

Extensive new facilities for both developers and users extend Process Commander’s suitability for managing large, complex cases.

Integration

Optionally, your application can connect to an external content management system such as Alfresco, or any other enterprise content management system that supports the Content Management interoperability Services standard maintained by OASIS.

You can choose to save and access file-type work object attachments, in the content management system, rather than in the PegaRULES database.

Connect HTTP rules now support binary MME attachments.

When the system sends outbound email, if the connection to the email server fails, messages are automatically queued for resending later. No configuration changes are needed.

SP2 provides initial support for the Java Specification Request 286 portlet standards.

User Interface

SP2 introduces auto-generated HTML Properties (now known as controls). These make it easier to find and configure controls, will support smoother application upgrades, and provide a unified model for events/actions, and improved runtime performance.

System Management

A new Application Packaging wizard prompts you to identify and select not only the RuleSets that make up an application, but the important data objects such as access groups, workbaskets, and database table records.
