Hi all — I’m working the Pega Academy challenge “Designing background processing” (Pega Platform 24.2, DeliveryService) and I’m blocked by Data Page parameter behavior and ruleset locking.

https://academy.pega.com/challenge/designing-background-processing/v6

Goal: Job Scheduler queries Business Partners expiring within 15 days (50 at a time) and queues each record to QP Membership-Expiry-Notification to send emails.

Issue 1 (pyGUID parameter blank):
During case actions / processing I see warnings like:

“Required parameter ‘pyGUID’ for data page ‘D_Businesspartner’ cannot be blank.”
Tracer shows the page load is happening without a value being passed for pyGUID. I checked the Data Page rule and my parameter shows Required = No (but runtime still complains / fails).

Issue 2 (generated GUID doesn’t work):
If I generate a GUID (@pxGetNewGUID()) and pass it into D_BusinessPartnerLookup / D_Businesspartner, the load fails because the instance cannot be found — which makes sense because it’s a new GUID and not tied to an existing record.

Issue 3 (ruleset lock error):
I also hit:

“No unlocked Rulesets/Versions found that are valid for this record. Unlock at least one Ruleset/Version…”
even though I have rulesets unlocked. It looks like rule resolution is pointing to a ruleset/version I don’t have open for this rule type.

Questions:

1. What is the intended source of the Business Partner pyGUID in this challenge — should it always come from D_QueryBusinessPartner results and be passed into D_Businesspartner?

2. If I changed the parameter to not required, how do I confirm which version of the Data Page is actually executing (rule resolution / cache) in this Academy environment?

3. For the “No unlocked rulesets/versions” error, what’s the best way to determine which ruleset/version Pega is trying to save into and which ruleset should be unlocked in the training app?

I can share tracer snippets / rule names if needed. Thanks.
