@SAHARACH

Instead of writing the java step in activity lets use the function to write the java code and the call the function using the call-function method in activity. This way we can also remove the severe gaurdrail warning.

Hi @SAHARACH,

We can use Java Step in Activity rule in Pega Infinity 23. But it is recommended / Best practice to use Pega OOTB Methods instead of Java Step methods.

Thanks
