Data Management
Prior to Pega 7 Accessing data was procedural. Developer
need to take care of everything like Data Defination and
loading of data,Refreshing and stored on clipboard. So
everytime we need to check Clipboard to check the Data
Values. Developer need to understand where the data
came from and how to retrive it. And also need to look how
to reference the data in each rule.
In Pega 7 Concept of Data Pages makes Data Access
Declerative which means system wil take care when data
need to be loaded. Data Pages includes existing features
and enhance features like property reference.
Data Pages are the next evolution of Declerative pages.
Data Pages can also be accessed as embeded pages
