CLSA Community Meetup: Savable data pages (November 2021): Slides, Replays + Demos

Drive your case designs based on your case’s data needs, not how the data is stored!

Benefits to your applications that adopt savable data pages include:

  • Encapsulating the retrieval and persistence logic for a data object into the one data page rule;
  • Standardizing the read and write operations performed between Pega and other systems of record;
  • Decoupling the application which needs and makes changes to data from the intricacies of how to retrieve and persist that data; and
  • Reducing the dependency on Activity rules for orchestrating the saving of data.

In this session, Vijay Krishna Kidambi Sreenivas @kidas and Surojit Ghosh @ghoss4 from Pega’s Engineering team discussed and demonstrated the create and update use cases where savable data pages would best be adopted; best practices for where and how to reference them; and overall recommendations on their usage.

Demo: Reference auto-populate properties when saving

… to further decouple the use case that performs the save from needing to know

  • what data page to use; and
  • what the correct case properties are to wire to the data page’s parameter list
