Pega User Defined Functions (UDFs)
Pega User Defined Functions (UDFs): What is the purpose of allowing Pega User Defined Functions (UDFs) in development environment that can not be used in Staging or Production? • Pega User Defined Functions (UDFs) for Reporting and Connect SQL capabilities (e.g. pr_read_from_stream) will no longer be operable in Staging (Production Level – 4) and Production (Production Level – 5) environments. However, application developers can continue leveraging them in Development (Production Level – 2) and Quality Assurance (Product Level – 3) environments to expedite development processes.

@RAOPG-1 Pega allows User Defined Functions (UDFs) like pr_read_from_stream to be used in Development and QA environments to help developers test and build features quickly. However, these UDFs are blocked in Staging and Production environments because they may cause performance or security issues. This means developers can use UDFs while creating and testing the application, but they need to replace them with safer and supported options before moving the app to live environments. This approach helps speed up development without affecting the stability or safety of production systems.

@Sairohith Why can not developers use safer supported options in development as well and test them properly before promoting code to higher environments
My point is that: Best practice should be to use same code in all environments Will you be able to give some examples of safer options for pr_read_from_stream
