Pega Common Data Model
5 Modules
3 Challenges
2 hrs 53 mins
In this mission, you learn about the Pega Common Data Model, which provides a data and integration layer for Pega's Constellation applications. You will understand more about the data model, including the preconfigured entities that describe core data such as accounts, contacts, and transactions. You will also learn how the Common Data Model facilitates application development by providing:
– A logical data model that is well-documented, consistently-built, and easy to test
– Physical storage of core entities and associated tooling
– Standard data access APIs
– Common and reusable data views
Using the Common Application is not mandatory when building applications directly on Platform. For strategic applications (for example, Customer Service) that are built by using the Common Application, refer to the respective application's instructions for mandatory uses.
