Tracking changes in decision tables
Is there a way to track changes in decision table rules? The changes are not limited to just returned values. Changes could be in the input columns as well.

Hello,
Well a Decision Table is a rule and as such, the history record of said rule should show you all previous versions. Just click on the pencil icon to display the previous version you need and check differences.

That's true but what I need is an ability to report on the changes. We need to know when a parameter (input or output) was changed and what was that change. Based on this info, there has to be an analysis of cases which used this changed parameter value.

Do you mean that you need to track the change in logic of the Decision Table; or track when the inputs of a particular Decision table have changed ?

Hi,
I need to track the change in the inputs as well as output of the decision table. Say I have a table (on n rows) with properties x and y as input.
and there is row like x=A && y=B returns C. I would like to know if any of A,B and C changes (for any of the n rows in that table). This would give me a starting point to analyse my cases which followed this changed decision table.

Hi NALIN001,
As per my understanding you need to only check if there is any chage in input as well as output properties but not the LOGIC,
I think for this we can use Declare Trigger or Declare On change and call Activity to log all required changes to a Pagelist for reporting purposes

Declarative rules are not allowed to be created in declarative classes. This error message appears -"Declarative rules cannot be declared on a declarive class".

Well i am not really sure i never worked on such requirement but i think we can trace the Pega activity which is saving the changes in History table and if it is not a Final activity we can possibly modify it as per our requirements.
