721 UDF - [1] Obligatory Yes/No [2] system impact if missing
Salut team,
I need to know whether the installation of Pega UDF (user defined functions) are obligatory or not (in my case: Oracle).
The 721 installation guide (Tomcat/Oracle) states (https://docs.pega.com/pega-721-platform-installation-guide-apache-tomcat-and-oracle)
- If you plan to use user-defined functions (UDF), support for UDF installed by the Pega 7 Platform is enabled.
- l If you plan to use user-defined functions (UDF), Java is enabled in the database.
This sounds to me as if the installation of Pega UDF is optional.
On the other hand, Appendix D sounds more, as if the installation must be performed.
So I have two questions that I would like to clarify
[1]
Is the installation of UDF mandatory or not?
If yes, we should update the installation manual.
[2]
What is the impact on a system, if UDF are not installed?
(My current thought: Reports based on unexposed BLOB properties won't work)
Best regards,
Andreas

Installation of UDF is optional. I am not sure why the installation manual needs to be updated. Appendix D is meant to help customer install them. It is not stated that it is mandatory.

Your understanding is correct. Report Definitions referring to unexposed BLOB properties will not work.
