U+ Bank has a customer service application that processes customer complaints. Now, after three
years in production, the operations manager needs historical reports on resolved cases. The reports
should be sent in near real-time. The data warehouse has exposed a REST API to receive the data,
and the reports are then generated from the data warehouse. Which two of the following options
could you use to create an ideal design solution for posting the data to the data warehouse? (Choose
Two)

• A. Read data with data flows, which source data by using a dataset and then output the data to a utility that synchronously posts the data to the data warehouse. For in-flight cases, on resolution of the case, configure the system to post the data to the data warehouse over REST.
• B. Prepare an extract rule and extract the data of already-resolved cases, and then load it into the data warehouse for reporting. For in-flight cases, on resolution of a case, configure the system to post the data to the data warehouse over REST.
• C. Read data with data flows, which source data by using a dataset and then output the data to a utility that posts the data to the queue processor, which then posts the data tothe data warehouse over REST. For in-flight cases, on resolution of a case, reuse a queue processor that you created.
• D. Run a one-time utility that browses all the resolved-cases data, and then asynchronously posts the data to the data warehouse. For in-flight cases, on resolution of a case, configure the system to synchronously post the data to the data warehouse over REST.

Every day at 1 AM, all the ATM transactions at ABC Bank from the previous day are shared with the
head office of the bank. All ATM machines perform this data sharing. ABC Bank uses this information
to validate transactions and balance all the ledgers. If any discrepancy is identified, a dispute
resolution flow initiates to investigate the root cause and resolve the dispute. ABC Bank has 1 million
ATMs for which transactions need to be analyzed for discrepancies. Which one of the following is the
optimal solution for gathering the transaction information from all the ATMs?

• A. The ATM machines generate an Excel file of all the transactions and place it in a NAS directory. Pega workflow processes the files using an Advanced agent.
• B. The ATM machines generate an Excel file of all the transactions and place it in a NAS directory. Pega workflow processes the files using a Queue Processor.
• C. The ATM machines generate an Excel file of all the transactions and place it in a NAS directory. Pega workflow processes the files using a Job Scheduler.
• D. The ATM machines generate an Excel file of all the transactions and place it in a NAS directory. Pega workflow processes the files using a Data Set of type File, and feeds the files into a Data Flow.

[Troubleshooting and Maintenance]
As a Lead System Architect at a multinational corporation, you are tasked with addressing significant
user-reported delays in a critical application. Suspecting that the delays are due to database-related
issues that have arisen suddenly, you aim to identify and resolve the problem methodically. Which
two options do you recommend to isolate the issue and enhance performance? (Choose Two)

• A. Reduce the thresholds for query-time alerts to more easily identify complex queries that might be causing delays.
• B. Raise the threshold for blob-size alerts to aid in the detection of large case instances that might impact performance.
• C. Analyze the periods during which the database experiences the highest usage, because this method assists in pinpointing the specific times to search for alerts or other issues in the log files.
• D. Configure the system to write Pega logs to the database server to gain insights into the events occurring within the application that might contribute to the delays.
