Question: On March 15th, an architect saves rules to a ruleset version with an effective date set as September 15 of the same year. Operators observe that changes at runtime the next time they login, on March 16th. What most likely explain this observation? (Choose One)

For this question, the following is the answer.

Answer: The application has not been configured to call the Public API setRuleSets method.

However Pega 7.1.9 help topic says this effective start date option is reserved for future use.

But 5.5 help says

https://community.pega.com/sites/default/files/help_v55/procomhelpmain.htm

Since this course is on Pega7.1 . I believe this question falls out of the syllabus.

Pega Academy, could you please clarify on this?.

Thanks,
