The CPLSA mission challenges
The challenges do not require configuration.
One full solution is provided for reference. The candidate should focus on developing the ability to analyze problems. Configuring the Rules to produce the same result as the provided solution is secondary.

Pega Platform options available to run the solution
Pega Academy provides an opportunity for you to practice what you learn. Two challenge system options are available:
Pega Academy provides two different systems for you to complete the exercises:
- Cloud instance (online)
- Virtual Machine (VM) (offline)
The cloud instance (when available) is accessible by clicking Initialize Pega instance for this Challenge in the Scenario section. The cloud instance is the preferred option in Pega Platform because it reflects the container-based, cloud-native deployment architecture that is now the strategic direction for all Pega applications.
The VM is made available as an Open Virtualization Archive (OVA) file that contains a compressed, "installable" version of a virtual machine. As of Pega Infinity™ '25, VM-based deployments are considered legacy. Pega's strategic direction is toward Kubernetes-orchestrated, cloud-native deployments. The VM option is provided for offline learning purposes only.
You can use any VM Player of your choosing, such as VirtualBox (Windows, macOS), VMWare Player (Windows), or VMware Fusion (macOS). You are responsible for downloading and installing your own VM player.
Exercise VM archive
The exercise VM is available as an OVA file that contains a compressed, "installable" version of a virtual machine. You can download the VM OVA file by using the following link:
The OVA file is approximately 11 GB and can take a while to download. Because of the large file size, the best practice is to use Chrome or Mozilla to complete the download.
Review the Pega Virtual Machine User Guide for crucial information on configuring the exercise VM correctly. Visit the respective website to access instructions on the latest version of the user guide.
Use your virtualization software (VM Player) to open, import, and extract the OVA file.
Although Pega does not provide a VM Player for you to use, use one of the following recommended players:
- VirtualBox (Windows, macOS)
- VMWare Player (Windows)
- VMware Fusion (macOS)
The VM User Guide provides details on downloading and importing the OVA file and running the VM in one of the recommended VM players. You are responsible for downloading and installing your own VM player.
You must also import the MDC_DeliveryService_Infinity251.zip Rule Application Product (RAP) to verify the related solutions.
