Joy at work is not a matter of working in a lavish infrastructure, earning countless dollars and partying out every night. It is rather a practice of being happy with what you are doing and more importantly for whom you are doing. People working in the biggest companies, earning millions of dollars are not the happiest ones always. Someone working in a local company with much lesser salary can be happier. Do you remember the old days when you passed out from the college and landed up your first job? The excitement of going to work could be seen bubbling out but as the time passed, things changed. Going to work became an obligation rather than an enjoyment. Do you realise what changed in these few years? Here are some tips to help you regain that joy in your work: Be realistic We often have a habit of setting unrealistic goals for ourselves. We expect more than what we are capable of and when we are not able to meet our goals, depression seeps in and the work becomes a...

Pega launched V5.5 in March-2009 and is offering hundreds of new features for developers, system administrators, and application users. V5.5 responds to customer and partner requests and extends performance, security, ease of development, alignment with the implementation methodology, and support of industry standards. Some of the features are 1) The scope of a For Each loop in an activity may now be multiple steps rather than the previous limit of a single step. 2) A new display provides quick access to all the rules in your application, organized by the 6-Rs or by rule category in a "heat map" display. 3) To simplify creation of correspondence rules, developers can compose the body of the rule using a rich text editor, rather than by typing in HTML code and JSP tags 4) Version V.5.5 includes DCO V3.1. The Direct Capture of Objectives facilities are enhanced to more completely align with and support the implementation methodology 5) You can view or edit the parameters of a s...

AJAX isn't a technology, or a language, and there's no recipe to implement it; it's just a combination of various components to achieve something you otherwise couldn't: asynchronous http requests.When Google and Flickr popularized the concept, its use has grown rapidly in early days. The name AJAX is short for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML . It uses the JavaScript XMLHttpRequest function to create a tunnel from the client's browser to the server and transmit information back and forth without having to refresh the page. The data travels in XML format because it transmits complex data types over clear text. AJAX uses XHTML for the data presentation of the view layer, DOM, short for Document Object Model, which dynamically manipulates the presentation, XML for data exchange, and XMLHttpRequest as the exchange engine that ties everything together. Some classic examples of applications that would benefit from AJAX are searching for information and displaying it back...

Add-ons Menu in Tools Menu Using XML rules, you can add items to the menu structure of the Developer portal. Your menu choices appear in the Tools > Add-ons menu group. New Methods for Activities Three new methods for activities provide simpler, higher-performance alternatives to the Obj-List method for efficiently searching and selecting objects from the PegaRULES database. The three methods: Obj-Browse :- Use the Obj-Browse method to search instances of one class and copy the entire instances, or specified properties, to the clipboard as an array of embedded pages. Obj-Filter :-Use the Obj-Filter method to filter the embedded pages of a results page (such as a Code-Pega-List page produced by the Obj-List, RDB-List, Obj-List-View or Obj-Browse methods) based on one or more when condition rules. Obj-List-View :- Use the Obj-List-View method to execute the retrieval and sorting operations, but the not the formatting and display processing, of a list view rule. These 3 methods impro...

A protocol is a mutually agreed-upon format for doing something. With regard to computers, it most commonly refers a set of rules (i.e., a standard) that enables computers to connect and transmit data to one another; this is also called a communications protocol. A protocol can be implemented by hardware, software, or a combination of the two. At the very least, it must define the rate of transmission (e.g., in bits per second), whether transmission is to be synchronous or asynchronous, and whether data is to be transmitted in half-duplex or full-duplex mode. Protocols define issues such as data representation (i.e., how data is stored), error control (i.e., error detection and recovery), data compression methods, signaling, authentication, how the sending device will indicate that it has finished, and how the receiving device will indicate it has received the message. Low-level protocols define the electrical and physical characteristics. High-level protocols deal with the formatting ...
