Creation Of Product Pega Prpc and Its Uses

Application Packaging wizard is used to create a product rule containing all the classes, rules, and data that make up an application.

This wizard packages the selected Application and its classes, rules, and data as a Product rule. The subsequent screens will show you some of the data instances to be included in the Product for your review and individual exclusion. Before leaving this wizard, you will have the opportunity to:

-Modify the Product manually
-Export the Product to a ZIP file
-Migrate the Product to another system

The wizard presents a page for each of the components that make up a complete Process Commander application. On each page, you can review the instances associated with the application and remove any that you do not want to include in the product rule. On the final step of the wizard, you can open the product rule to modify it further, export the application package to a ZIP file that can be imported into another Process Commander system, or open the Product Migration wizard to migrate the product directly to another server.

It is a good practice to have all the RuleSet Versions in your Product locked before moving them to another system.

The wizard uses three methods to identify the components associated with the selected application:
-Uses the Application RuleSet list to identify the Application’s Classes and then the Class Groups, DB Table, and DB Name.

-Uses the Access Groups that list the application to identify Operators and through them the Work Groups, Work Baskets and Organizational Structure (Unit, Division, Organization.)

-The wizard displays all the Integration Resources in the system (such as listeners, email accounts, and service packages), but pre-selects instances to be included in the package that has their Associated RuleSet set to one of the RuleSets in the selected application’s RuleSet stack. Newly created instances of these data objects are automatically associated with a RuleSet from the current application. (For Integration resources created in versions earlier than 6.2, the Associated RuleSet field is blank. To include them in the package, you must each data instance, complete the Associated RuleSet field, and save.)

Go to Rules Explorer > SysAdmin > Right click on the product and click ‘new’ to create a new product rule.

Give the product name and a version for the product and click on ‘create’ to create a new Product rule.
