Certified Pega Senior System Architect v8.7 — Question 5

You are working on an update to an application which only affects some rules for a certain case type. For migration to a production system, the customer wants the updated rules released as a new patch version of the application ruleset.
Flow do you create the new ruleset version?

Answer options

• A. Skim the relevant rulesets to copy the highest versions of the existing rules to the new version.
• B. Merge the existing rules in the relevant rulesets to the new version.
• C. Lock the current ruleset and then roll (increment) the ruleset version.
• D. Create a branched ruleset and then copy the affected rules into the new branched ruleset.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it involves copying the most updated rules from the existing rulesets, ensuring that the latest changes are included in the new version. Options B and D would not achieve the client's request for a patch version as they involve merging or branching, which are not necessary for a straightforward update. Option C incorrectly suggests locking the ruleset, which is not required for creating a new version.
