Certified Pega System Architect v8.0 (2019) — Question 8

You are configuring an external data source using the Integration Designer. You have the REST, Dev, Stage, and Prod endpoint URLs, and a name for the data source.
What other information do you need to configure the external data source?

Answer options

• A. The name of the database where the source data is stored
• B. The data views using the external data source
• C. A plan for mapping the data and REST response fields
• D. A backup endpoint URL if the configured URL refuses to connect

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because knowing the database name is essential to connect the external data source to the correct data repository. Options B and C are relevant for using the data source but are not necessary for its initial configuration, while D is not required as backup endpoints are not a standard requirement for basic setup.
