Enriching Propositions Programmatically
Is there a way to update existing proposition entries outside of pega - (for example, through a REST interface). If not what would be the steps to implement such a capability through activities.
For example the JSON post { "pyname" : "proposition1", "pyGroup" : "Group1", "pyIssue" : "Issue1", "SomeSRProposition" : "Somedata" }
would update proposition1/ Group1/ Issue1 with Somedata in SomeSRProposition

Hi,
You can write a activity to update the propositions programatically
The following are the steps required for the activity on a high level
Required parameters - Decision data name, Applies to class, Proposition name, Action
- Open the group decision data rule with keys (Decision data name, Applies to class)
- Iterate through the propositions (decisiondatarulepage.pxPage.pxResults) and find out the proposition to be updated (.pyName=Proposition name)
- Copy the proposition data to a temporary page(PropositionData) and exit the iteration
- Call the function pxManageProposition(tools, PropositionData, Action) with Action as Update
Please let me know if the steps are not clear Thanks and regards, Prabhu

So far so good. Your approach works for proposition type decision data.
Is there an approach which works for generic decision data? Decision data which has been created independently - For example, Real-time controls

Hey Andrew, sounds an interesting use case. We certainly prefer customers to update propositions / actions within Pega (Ops Manager for example). Can you elaborate a little on why you are looking to do this?
Thanks, Alex

Hi Alex. We have use-case where various device pricing information should be updated in the proposition decision data (target) automatically, when the changes occur in the external product catalogue (source).
P.S. Apologies for the delayed response. I assumed an email alert would be sent for question responses (maybe I missed it).
