Question #: 18
Topic #: 8
[All PEGACPLSA88V1 Questions]

The U+ Corporation uses Pega software for mortgage underwriting tasks. After gathering the initial data, the mortgage case pauses and waits for a credit report. The credit report is a separate case, located in the same class group as the mortgage case, and typically resolves within 24 hours. After the credit report is complete, the mortgage case is routed to a specialist.

Which one of the following options is the best way to advance the mortgage case to the specialist?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Wait Shape with Case Dependency:

The best practice in Pega for handling dependencies between cases is to use a Wait shape configured with case dependencies. This ensures that the mortgage case waits for the completion of the credit report case before proceeding.

By configuring the Wait shape to monitor the status of the credit report case, it ensures that the mortgage case automatically resumes once the credit report case is resolved.

Process Configuration:

In the mortgage case process, insert a Wait shape where the process needs to pause for the credit report.

Configure the Wait shape to depend on the resolution of the credit report case. This can be done by specifying the case ID of the credit report as a dependency.

Automation and Efficiency:

This method is efficient as it automates the waiting process without manual intervention. The mortgage case resumes automatically once the credit report case completes, ensuring smooth workflow automation.

It avoids the need for complex SLAs or additional activities to check the status of the credit report case, simplifying the process design.

Routing to Specialist:

Once the Wait shape condition is satisfied, the process flow continues to the step that routes the mortgage case to a specialist.

This ensures that the mortgage case is routed at the appropriate time, maintaining process integrity and efficiency.

I think option C could work too, adding a wait shape with a case dependency seems logical to advance the mortgage case.

I'm not sure, option B also sounds like a good approach to ensure the credit report is complete before advancing.

Option A looks a bit convoluted to me. Who wants to deal with checking SLAs and manually calling activities? No thanks!

Option D sounds tempting, but I'm not sure I like the idea of the credit report process modifying the mortgage case. Feels a bit too much like spaghetti code.

I'd go with option C. A simple wait shape with a case dependency is a clean way to handle the dependency without complicating the mortgage process.

Option B seems the most straightforward. Using a split-join with the 'All' option ensures the mortgage case doesn't proceed until the credit report is complete.
