Advantage of activity over data transform
It is always suggestable to use other PRPC rules if possible in place of activity.
But what are the few requirement we cannot implement by data transform so that we go for activities.
Any replies greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,
I think there are quite a lot of methods available on activities. You will not be able to call those methods from a DataTransform.

Can you please be more precise, list few of those activity methods which we can’t implement by data transform?
I mean few of these activity methods we can implement by data transform
1. Property-Set --- Set.
2. Page-New --- Define the Class for the Page in Pages and Class and access the page name.
3. Page-Copy --- Define the Class for the Page in Pages and Class and Use set.
4. Page-Remove/Property-Remove --- Remove.
5. Obj-Sort --- Sort.
6. Apply DataTransform --- Apply DataTransform.
7. Property-Map-DecisionTable --- Use set and call OOTB function from the expression builder in Source.
8. Property-Map-DecisionTree --- Use set and call OOTB function from the expression builder in Source.
9. Property-Map-Value --- Use set and call OOTB function from the expression builder in Source.
10. Property-Map-ValuePair --- Use set and call OOTB function from the expression builder in Source.
And also is there anything else that we go for using activity just because we can’t achieve by Data transform?
By the way I’m new to PEGA, pls correct if anything I mentioned wrong.

Here is how I currently summarise it as of Pega 8.5. Future releases may of course deliver different strategies for implementing some of the tasks currently best done by an Activity:
| Use Data Transforms when ... | Use Activities when... |
