1. What advantage does skimming provide over lock and roll as a versioning option?

Skimming is most efficient for major and minor updates. Lock and roll is most useful for patches.

Pega provides a skimming wizard but not a lock and roll wizard.

Skimming saves checked out rules. Lock and roll does not save checked out rules.

Skimming carries blocked rules forward. Lock and roll does not carry blocked rules forward.

Skimming is the process of saving the highest version of a rule into a new, higher ruleset version. In lock and roll, you must select the appropriate rules to copy into a new empty ruleset. Lock and roll is labor-intensive when used for major updates.

Explanation

Skimming is the process of saving the highest version of a rule into a new, higher ruleset version. In lock and roll, you must select the appropriate rules to copy into a new empty ruleset. Lock and roll is labor-intensive when used for major updates.

109. Select two reasons for organizing delegated rules in a separate, unlocked ruleset. (Choose Two)

A separate, unlocked ruleset allows you to organize the business users responsible for managing the delegated rules.

A separate, unlocked ruleset is necessary because changes cannot be made to rules in a locked ruleset.
