Pega 7.2: Multi Step Process
Hello,
I was wondering how it is possible to configure step behaviour in Pega 7.2(.1).
More specifically, I am trying to set the step type to "multi step process" and then to configure its process diagram with the process modeller.
It works in Pega 7.1.6, but can't find these options in Pega 7.2.1...
Pega 7.2 simplifies this idea.
In Pega 7.1 case designer, stages had steps, and each "step" represented an entire process flow. When configuring "step behaviors" one could say it is a single step assignment, or multi step process. When choosing the latter, the system merely placed a second assignment within the flow rule, whether or not that shape would remain or be deleted. There was technically never a need to use the step behavior drop down menu in Pega 7.1. It was a nice idea, but in truth if you went directly to any flow rule and added a second shape to a single assignment process, or deleted the original assignment shape and replace it with an automated shape, the step was still marked in the case designer as a "multi step process."
In Pega 7.2 case designer, stages contain processes, and processes contain "steps". "Steps" are analogous to the shape it represents within the process flow. So the concept of single step process and multi-step process are still supported. It's just done in a more straightforward manner.
I hope this helps to explain the difference.
For more information, you might find the recently released Pega Academy self-study course Leveraging Pega 7.2 for System Architects beneficial. It is a free course and covers content that is not covered in the SAE I and SAE II v7.1 courses.
