Azure Storage Acct. integration from Pega V8

-
Brief idea on Storage acct.
An Azure storage account contains all of your Azure Storage data objects: blobs, files, queues, tables, and disks. The storage account provides a unique namespace for your Azure Storage data that is accessible from anywhere in the world over HTTP or HTTPS. Data in your Azure storage account is durable and highly available, secure, and massively scalable. You're billed for Azure Storage based on your storage account usage. All objects in a storage account are billed together as a group. Storage costs are calculated according to the following factors: Region,Account type, Access tier, Capacity, Replication,Transactions
For more details, you can refer Microsoft site.

 Here are the steps to be followed while implementing the sample exercise to store/export the Pega RAP file into Azure Storage acct. Also, we can import/upload the RAP file from the same Storage acct. Note that this exercise is an alternative way to store the build files in Azure instead of app server's folder: "Service Export". We can extend this experiment to store the case attachments into Azure instead of storing them in Pega locally(default).

 1) Create a free 12 mons Azure acct from MS using the URL:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/account/

2) Create a storage acct from the MS portal and the URL: https://portal.azure.com/
3) Create a container for this storage and the access level should be of public by selecting “Container” and get the access key for integration
4) Create a new Repository for Azure integration. Before starting the Pega side changes, make sure to have the roleè PegaRULES:RepositoryAdministrator


5) Export an RAP to Azure from Pega now and verify the Azure to see the above RAP in the product folder. Also, import the RAP from Azure to Pega. Here I just added a simple Op ID’s pzInsKey in the RAP and that new Operator will be added to Pega after importing done.

Connecting Claude to Pega Infinity 25.1.3 via MCP — Step-by-Step

-
Image
Enable AI-powered access to your Pega Investigative Case Management data directly from Claude prompts using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and OAuth 2.0. What is MCP and why connect Pega to Claude? The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude securely call tools and read data from external systems — all from a natural-language prompt. Think of it as a universal adapter between your enterprise systems and AI. Pega Infinity V25.1.3 ships with a first-class MCP service built on its existing REST framework. Once enabled, Claude can: Query and summarize investigative cases without switching apps Retrieve assignment details and case status on demand Trigger Pega workflows from conversational prompts Version requirement: This guide is based on Pega Infinity V25.1.3 (Community Edition) with the Rule-Service-MCP rule type. Earlier versions may not include native MCP support. Architecture overview The connection uses three layers: Claude as the AI c...

itextpdf API to generate PDF doc from an image file using Pega PE

-

Probably some of the techies might have an idea on an opensource called " itextpdf " (earlier name is lowagie ) to convert an image file(png,jpeg,jpg,tiff,gif etc.) to a PDF file. It is very simple to use this API in Pega function to build the logic using java code. Moreover, this API comes in one single jar file and we need to import it in Pega before we start using it.  I see the conversion comes good in PDF file but not sure if any limitations of this API in terms of conversion is like formatting, font, images etc. So far so good and may be we can keep this API as one of our solutions while working on the requirements accordingly.  Heard that same API can be used to convert the text file to PDF but I didn't explore on it. Those who are interested to work on text -> PDF can take a look at the documentation. Don't hesitate to contact me offline for any further discussion in this context :) :) Prerequisites for doing this exercise: 1) itextpdf 5.4.0 jar file 2) Peg...

Hugging Face is a platform that provides tools and libraries for natural language processing (NLP), machine learning, and artificial intelligence. It is known for its Transformers   library, which offers pre-trained models for tasks such as text classification, translation, question answering, and more. Hugging Face also hosts a model hub where users can share and discover pre-trained models. Hugging Face is useful in various domains, including: Natural language processing (NLP): Provides tools and pre-trained models for tasks like text classification, translation, sentiment analysis, and question answering. Machine learning research: Offers state-of-the-art models and datasets for researchers to experiment and innovate. Data science and analytics: Helps data scientists analyze and interpret large volumes of text data. AI application development: Enables developers to build AI-powered applications with ease using pre-trained models and APIs. A very simple exercise using the google...
