In what order are rules and data instances applied for a connector connectivity?

The correct sequence for applying rules and data instances for a connector connectivity accurately reflects the procedural requirements in Pega. It starts with the Data Page, which is essentially a container that retrieves and holds data from various sources. Data Pages serve as the first point of access to data, ensuring that any required information is loaded before any transformation or connection processes are initiated.

Following the Data Page, the Data Transform executes. It acts as a mechanism for mapping or transforming the data into a suitable format for the subsequent steps in the process. This transformation is crucial for ensuring that the data aligns effectively with the requirements of any connected rules.

Next is the Connect rule, which is responsible for establishing connectivity to an external system, allowing the application to retrieve or send data. This step is essential when interfacing with external data sources or services.

After the Connect rule is applied, the Mapping rule comes into play. Mapping rules define how the data received from the external source is structured and how it should be incorporated into the Pega application. This ensures the received data is usable within the application’s context.

Finally, the process may end with another Data Transform that further manipulates or formats the data as needed, ensuring it aligns perfectly with the application's needs and standards.
