Unable to save customer data via savable data page
Course: System Architect Essentials 8.1 (cannot yet be selected in courses list on this form)
Subject: SAE 8 Solution Build
Story US-109 states to save case data of the Rental Customer to a RentalCustomer Data Type by use of the D_RentalCustomerSavable data view, that previously has been made by App Studio. The technical approach is to source the data page with a data transform to copy the case data onto the data page.
If my understanding of the technical approach is correct a data transform is created on class Tour-CarRentals-Data-RentalCustomer. This data transform only needs a single action with:
- Action = Set
- Target = Top
- Source = pyWorkPage.RentalCustomer
pyWorkPage is defined under Pages&Classes as of class Tour-CarRentals-Work-RentalReservation
The .RentalCustomer on this work class is of type -Data-RentalCustomer, so the data should fit just fine.
When running this solution an instance of Tour-CarRentals-Data-RentalCustomer is made, but is holds no data on underlying pages. The only data that is populated is mata data from the case. I would expect (hope) to see underlying pages of:
- PersonalInformation
- AddressInformation
- LicensingInformation
- LoginCredentials
Please advise.
Kind regards, Pascal

The applies-to class of the Data Transform should be the same as that of the .RentalCustomer property. Call the DT from the case, for example as a Flow Action post transform. No need to use pyWorkPage. In the DT set the Savable Data Page equal to .RentalCustomer being certain to set the values of the properties used as the unique keys to each Rental Customer instance. The syntax for the SDP requires you to supply each key as a parameter. Afterward use a Save Data Page step to save the data. That step will ask you to supply the keys.

Once my colleagues get my in-house virtual machine working again I'll see if I can use this explanation to fix my (same) issue. See my posting of the same issue at https://collaborate.pega.com/question/system-architect-essentials-8-capstone-exercise-us-109-instruction-remove-parameter-causes
