Enable/Disable the REST API service specific loggers in Pega

-

There may be an instance where we need to capture the errs/issues while working on REST conn/service. We know that Pega gave OOTB loggers to enable/disable in the Designer Studio (Pega 7.x) or Admin Studio (Pega 8.x). The below 4 loggers are required in REST side. Enable them in the sys based on the needed level (Err/Debug/All/Warn/Alert/Fatal). Below are sample screenshots to understand on how we can set them in both Pega V7 and V8.

 

Logger Names:

 

  1. com.pega.pegarules.integration.engine.internal.util.PRServiceUtils (Any Service)
  2. com.pega.pegarules.integration.engine.internal.ServiceMappingUtils (Any Service)
  3. com.pega.pegarules.integration.engine.internal.connect.rest.RESTClient (REST Connect)
  4. com.pega.pegarules.integration.engine.internal.connect.rest.RESTConnector (REST Connect)

 

When we associate a log level with a log category, the log messages of this category are written to a log file. The log level applies to all the loggers that we are associate with the category. We don’t need to recycle/bounce the server while adding/deleting the loggers.

Note: Please make sure them to remove them from the sys, if they are no longer needed. Otherwise, the log files are piled up with all the entries related to this context.

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...
