Certified Pega Senior System Architect v8.0 (2019) — Question 1

The customer, a medium size toy maker, wants to fulfill orders received during the peak season in December and process them in batches multiple times a day.
How do you implement this use case?

Answer options

• A. Create a queue processor that can process orders received by the company.
• B. Create one scheduled job and select its run schedule as multiple times a day.
• C. Create batches of orders and send each batch for processing when it gets full.
• D. Create scheduled jobs, one for each run, that can process accumulated orders.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because creating separate scheduled jobs for each execution allows for better management and timely processing of accumulated orders. Option A is incorrect as a queue processor alone may not efficiently handle the volume during peak season. Option B does not provide the granularity needed for multiple processing instances, and option C may lead to delays if batches are not filled quickly.
