Specification Linking to correct Rule type under Implementaion
PRPC always requires Specification to be linked to Class and Activity (excluding Reports) but in reality there are many specification where you might not have Activity written to implement a Specification like Interest Calculation need Data transform or Specification which just requires a display ? I believe PRPC should be enhance to link a Specification to other rule type as well or should allow just to capture Class name with Specification. Let mw know thoughts on it.
Hi Kurt,
We are using version 7.1.7. Attached here is the model window I get every time I try to link an specification to a rule by clicking Add/Edit links button.
It only gives me option to specify Activity and respective class.
Also for few report type I was able to link to report definition but other reports type specification also it is asking to link it to an activity.
Hi,
Your screenshot seems to align with what's documented for the Specification ruleform:

I know for some other rule types (Flow rules are one example), you can go to that rule's ruleform and link the specification directly from there. I'm not sure about how the report definition linking works, however if you can post an example of a successful linking of a report definition to a report type specification, someone might have more information about it.
Hope this helps,

I know that with flow you can attach specification but my question was when you are on the Application--> Profile -->Specification. The issue I am facing is I can not attach many of specifications to right rule as when I try to link specification it always seeks Class and Activity (screen shot attached with my earlier post) that's the reason I was requesting an enhancement in PRPC function of specification linking to right rule. I hope you understand what problem I am talking about.
Thank you for your response, further clarifying your request for an enhancement to the functionality. I've alerted our Moderator team to your request.
I have submitted this enhancement on your request and updated your original post with the FDBK ID. Please take this ID to your account executive for next steps.
Thanks!
Hi,
Can you please let us know what version of the Pega Platform (PRPC) you are using?
In Pega 7, you can associate specifications with most ruleforms for implementation rules via the Specifications tab:

You can also associate specifications with steps and forms on a Case Type from within the Case Designer:

Hope this information helps!
