Use the technical documentation linked in the Journey map above to complete the assigned tasks. The technical documentation might have more information than you need to complete the tasks.

Acceptance criteria

Task 1: Configure OAuth 2.0 authentication

• An OAuth 2.0 Client Registration is created with the following configuration:

  Field	Value
  Short description	EmployeeEvalutionAuthentication
  Client name	EmployeeEvalutionAuthentication
  Supported grant types	Client credentials
  Access group	HRAppsV2:Administrators

• The client credentials are downloaded and saved locally as EmployeeEvalutionAuthentication_ClientCredentials.txt.

Task 2: Test Case creation through the Pega API

• The Pega API is authorized by using the client_id and client_secret from EmployeeEvalutionAuthentication_ClientCredentials.txt under the Constellation DX APIs service package.
• The POST /cases endpoint is executed with the following request body:
  <code>{
    "caseTypeID": "TGB-HRApps-Work-EmployeeEvaluation",
    "parentCaseID": "",
    "processID": "pyStartCase",
    "content": {
      "Employee": {

  }</code>
• The response body contains the generated Case ID for the new Employee Evaluation Case.
