Pega Certified Senior System Architect (PCSSA) 87V1 Questions 33–40 (page: 6)

Updated On: 29-Apr-2026

Which two configurations do you implement when using a Pega Web Mashup? (Choose Two)

  1. Leverage the standard authentication service IACAuthentication and update the authentication activities.
  2. Add an access group for the application rules that need to be accessed from the external system.
  3. Configure a node-level data page to hold security access information about the external system.
  4. Configure the application permissions by specifying a list of trusted domains in the application rule.

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

Option A is correct because using the standard authentication service IACAuthentication and updating authentication activities enables Pega Web Mashup to securely authenticate external requests. Option D is correct because configuring application permissions by listing trusted domains controls which external origins can access the Pega application via mashup, ensuring trusted cross-origin interaction.
A) Correct — aligns with leveraging built-in IACAuthentication and updating its authentication activities for mashup scenarios.
B) Incorrect — adding an access group for external access is not the specific configuration required for Web Mashup security/identity; mashup relies on authentication service and domain trust, not just an access group.
C) Incorrect — a node-level data page for external security info is unnecessary; mashup authentication centers on the authentication service and trusted domains, not a data page.
D) Incorrect — while domain trust is important, “application permissions by trusted domains” should be part of the application rule configuration, not an isolated permission list alone; this option complements A but is not framed as such in mashup context.



Which requirement is a prerequisite for configuring a Pega Web Mashup?

  1. No outstanding Guardrail violations
  2. A web server to test your host page
  3. At least one work queue in your application
  4. At least one Access control policy rule

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Option D is correct because configuring a Pega Web Mashup requires an Access control policy rule to manage cross-origin access and authentication when embedding Pega UI in external sites. Incorrect — A: Guardrail violations are quality checks, not prerequisites for mashups. Incorrect — B: a web server to test a host page is development tooling, not a prerequisite for Mashup configuration. Incorrect — C: a work queue is a process/assignment construct, not required for Mashup setup.



Which two statements are valid regarding Pega Web Mashup? (Choose Two)

  1. Pega Platform limits mashup users to working on existing cases.
  2. Mashup requests are checked for the corresponding mashup channel ID parameter.
  3. A mashup can allow access to Dev Studio for full system configuration.
  4. A user can view their worklist in an external portal and select items on which to take action.

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:

Option B is correct because Pega Web Mashup validates requests against the mashup channel ID parameter to ensure the mashup session is tied to the appropriate channel, enforcing security and session scoping. Option D is correct because mashups allow external portals to display a user’s worklist and enable selecting actions from those items, integrating with Pega work management.
A) Incorrect — Mashup usage is not limited to existing cases; mashups can interact with data and cases beyond merely existing ones, depending on configuration. B) Correct — see above. C) Incorrect — Mashup does not grant Dev Studio access for full system configuration; it’s a restricted integration channel. D) Correct — see above.



When deploying mashup code in a webpage, which option is necessary to ensure that Pega Platform accepts incoming requests?

  1. Ensure the host is configured to support HTTPS.
  2. Establish a private tunnel from the host to Pega Platform.
  3. Enable authentication policies on Pega Platform.
  4. Add the host URL in the Pega application.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Option C is correct because enabling authentication policies on Pega Platform ensures incoming mashup requests are authenticated and authorized according to the configured security requirements, which is necessary for Pega to accept and process requests from external web pages.
A) Incorrect — HTTPS configuration of the host governs transport security but is not sufficient to authorize or validate mashup requests within Pega’s security framework.
B) Incorrect — A private tunnel is not a required or standard step for mashup acceptance; Pega relies on configured authentication/authorization rather than a tunnel.
D) Incorrect — Adding a host URL to the application does not establish security or allow requests unless proper authentication policies are in place.



University admission application cases automatically advance in the case life cycle if the applicant's standardized test scores are above a certain threshold. The threshold is determined each year based on the provided national average score.
Which two configurations, when applied together, support this requirement? (Choose Two)

  1. Configure a process with a decision shape that continues if the TestThreshold Configuration setting is less than the applicant's test score.
  2. Configure a TestThreshold Configuration setting with the national average for the test score threshold.
  3. Configure a TestThreshold Configuration setting that calculates the national average for the test score threshold.
  4. Configure a process with a decision shape that continues if the TestThreshold Configuration setting is greater than the applicant's test score.

Answer(s): B,C

Explanation:

Option B) Correct — sets the TestThreshold Configuration to the national average, providing a dynamic threshold used by decisions to evaluate scores.
Option C) Correct — configures the TestThreshold Configuration to calculate the national average, ensuring the threshold is computed and available for comparison.
A) Incorrect — uses less-than comparison; the requirement specifies continuing when scores are above threshold, not when below.
D) Incorrect — uses greater-than comparison opposite to the intended logic; would not consistently advance cases above the threshold.



A view has a part number field that requires the first two characters are letters, and the last four are digits (for example, AB1234).
How do you ensure that the correct pattern is entered when the user exits the field?

  1. Configure a validate rule on the flow action to validate the field with boolean logic.
  2. Configure an edit validate rule and call it from a validate rule in the relevant flow action.
  3. Configure an edit validate rule and reference it from the property rule for the field.
  4. Configure a validate rule to use input-qualified validation configuration.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Option C is correct because: Edit validate rule can encapsulate the pattern (two letters followed by four digits) and be referenced directly from the field’s property rule, ensuring real-time validation when the user exits the field. This leverages Pega’s declarative validation where property-level rules enforce input patterns consistently.
A) Incorrect — A validate rule on the flow action validates the action as a whole, not specifically binding a reusable pattern to the field’s property. B) Incorrect — An edit validate rule called from a flow action validate rule is less modular; the field-specific pattern should be attached at the property level. D) Incorrect — Input-qualified validation configuration is broader and not the standard method to enforce a per-field exact pattern.



A requirement states that when a case is assigned to a user for review, its work status is set to Open- Review. Which two steps do you perform to implement this requirement? (Choose Two)

  1. Configure a data transform to apply the Open-Review status on the appropriate assignments.
  2. Add Open-Review as an allowed status on the case type record.
  3. Create a field value record for the Open-Review status.
  4. Apply the Open-Review status to the appropriate assignments.

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:

Option B is correct because adding Open-Review as an allowed status on the case type record enables the status to be used by the case lifecycle and assignments. Option D is correct because applying the Open-Review status to the appropriate assignments enforces the status change when the case is assigned for review.
A is incorrect because configuring a data transform to apply a status is unnecessary when the allowed statuses are already defined on the case type; transforms are not required to set a standard status on assignment creation. C is incorrect because a field value record for a status is not typically needed to define an allowed status; statuses are defined on the case type and assigned through the workflow.



You should consider using a field value when the list of allowed values is

  1. mostly static
  2. three or fewer items
  3. specific to one case type
  4. shared across all case types

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Option A is correct because field value lookups are appropriate when the allowed values are mostly static and do not change frequently, enabling straightforward reuse without defining dynamic choices. Incorrect — B: The number of items (three or fewer) is not the determining factor; small lists can still be static or dynamic. Incorrect — C: Being specific to one case type implies limited reuse and may require a separate field value set, not a general field value approach. Incorrect — D: Shared across all case types suggests a universal value set; if truly shared, a centralized static value list is possible, but the question emphasizes static nature, not universal sharing.
