Relaunching Pega CLSA Guide Book 1 - [Go to Kickstarter to support this initiative!]

To support pursuing this certification, the publisher is relaunching the Google Play eBook(s) version at a limited-time special price. 

Click on the following link to support this initiative:

[The following are additional info from the Kickstarter page above]

The Project

Pega CLSA is the highest level of technical achievement in Pega. With the recent changes to the 7.3/7.4 certification, the path of CLSA certification had become much more complicated.

This guide is a compilation of the knowledge that the author had gained along the way, highlighting specific tricks that you can legally leverage on to improve your chance of passing this certification. The focus is on demystifying this certification, and most importantly, providing guidance and tips on how you could optimise your success rate.

To support pursuing this certification, the publisher is relaunching the Google Play eBook version at a limited-time special price through Kickstarter. Various other eBooks are bundled to support the overall learning experiences.

Plan

So far, a number of books related to Pega and the certification are published. You can view sample chapters in this website.
 
Technically, there is no risk in this project as this would be a republish of existing books as Google Play eBooks to support candidates pursuing this certification.
Upon confirmation of the project go-ahead, supporters are required to provide their Gmail account to receive the Google Play eBook(s). The distribution of the eBook(s) should be completed within days.
The following is an example of how the book(s) will be listed in your Google Play account.

The following is an example of a 2-page-view in Google Play (on a computer):

Rewards

By supporting this project, not only would you receive the eBook(s) at a reduced price, it also motivates the publisher to provide more rewards to interested learners of the Pega technology. Most importantly, encouraging the publisher to produce more publications related to this wonderful Pega technology.

Risks and challenges

Technically, there is no risk in this project as this would be a republish of existing book(s) as a Google Play eBook(s) to support candidates pursuing this certification.

Installing and Testing AES: Configuring the Monitored System

Now that you have installed and tested the AES, you should configure a system for monitoring. The first thing that you need to do is to give the monitored node a name.

Give a New System Name to the Node to be Monitored

Login to the node to be monitored as an administrator, e.g. administrator@pega.com with the default password of install.

Once you have login, click Designer Studio > System > Settings > System Name:
 Menu Navigation for Changing System Name
Figure 42: Menu Navigation for Changing System Name

In the form that appears as shown below, enter your new system name in the field: “New Name”. In my case, I am renaming it as “MyVM2”.
 Renaming the System Name
Figure 43: Renaming the System Name

Click the “Submit” button above to save your changes. You will receive the following confirmation:
 Successfully Configured System Name
Figure 44: Successfully Configured System Name

Once you have successfully configured the system name, restart the system.

💡
If this is a multi-node system, you need to restart all the nodes.



💡
Remember to apply monitored systems hotfixes right after you have configured the system for monitoring with Pega Autonomic Event Services. For applicable hotfixes for your system, always check with Pega Support.

 

 

Enabling Pega Autonomic Event Services Integration On Monitored Systems

Once your system is back online, login to the system to be monitored, as an administrator (e.g. using the administrator@pega.com with the default password of install).

In the Designer Studio, clicked:
Designer Studio > System > Settings > Predictive Diagnostic Cloud:
 Accessing the Predictive Diagnostic Cloud Settings
Figure 45: Accessing the Predictive Diagnostic Cloud Settings

In the screen that opens, in the “ENDPOINT SOAP URL” field, enter the endpoint SOAP URL that corresponds to the Pega Autonomic Event Services server's SOAP URL.

In other words, this URL should point to the server that you have installed the AES.

The format is as follows:
http://[server name]:[port number]/prweb/PRSOAPServlet

The following is an example of the setting:
 Setting for Predictive Diagnostic Cloud
Figure 46: Setting for Predictive Diagnostic Cloud

💡
Ensure that your AES server is up and running before proceeding to the next step.



After that, click on the “Test Connectivity” button, and you should have a success message like the following:
 Connection to AES Server Successful
Figure 47: Connection to AES Server Successful

Once your connection is successful, click on the “Update Configuration” button, and you should see the “Successfully updated Predictive Diagnostic Cloud configuration” as shown below:
Successfully Updated the Predictive Diagnostic Cloud Configuration
Figure 48: Successfully Updated the Predictive Diagnostic Cloud Configuration

💡
In the installation guide, you were told to use the following format:
<kbd>http://[server name]:[port number]/prweb/PRSOAPServlet</kbd>
However, that does not work.
