How to create Temporary Cases through the Pega API?
Hello,
I'm trying to create temporary cases using the Pega API but am not being able to. I'm sending as parameter the following structure:
{ "caseTypeID": "COMP-ORG-Work-MyApp", "processID": "pyStartCase" }
note that the pyStartCase from the COMP-ORG-Work-MyApp class has the Temporary object checkbox selected.
Other approach I tried was to add the following code inside the structure:
"content": { "pyTemporaryObject": "true" }
Either way, the created case is still a permanent one. Anyone knows how to do it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Can you pls explain how are you calling the API to create the case? Is there any commit or persist operation happening inside? Pls share your configuration details. Are you using any agent or listener for this purpose?

Hi, thanks for your reply.
At the moment I am simply using the default Pega 7.2.2 API page (Resources -> Pega API -> Create new case -> Try it Out!) for testing purposes.
No commit or persist operations are being done in any of the case's flows.

Hi,
Service method pzCreateCase is called when the create case REST API is invoked. If you open this activity then you will see that standard PRPC API - pzCreateCaseInternal is called. If you look at step 6 of this activity then the content you have added as service parameter is merged into workpage and kept in page type property content. Hence pyTemporaryObject value which you are sending is being set. But from this activity svcAddWorkObject activity is called which is again calling CreateWorkPage, AddWork and CommitWithErrorHandling activities. CommitWithErrorHandling activity does the DB commit and creates a permanent instance.
Hope this explains the problem.

Hi, thanks for your reply again.
So, after checking those activities it seems to me like the API wasn't designed to work with temporary cases. There's even a error message being set if the case ID is not valid (and temporary cases doesn't even have case IDs).
I wonder if those scenarios were not thought by Pega, or if there is any other way I'm not seeing.

Hello,
I would like to try your example, but I'm confused about this part:
>>> At the moment I am simply using the default Pega 7.2.2 API page (Resources -> Pega API ->
>>> Create new case -> Try it Out!) for testing purposes.
I assume "Resources > Pega API . . ." is some sort of menu navigation, but on what screen or portal do I find that "Resources" menu item to get going on this?
Thanks. /Eric

Thank you.
