optional field to reference a Model rule. Model rules allow you to define default information

for specified fields on the PartyDisplay form. Is this statement true or false?

Ans: True

Explanation : Each work party’s UI is defined in a stream called “PartyDisplay” in the

appropriate Data-Party-* class. When you specify model to that party in your work party

rule, the “PartyDisplay” stream will use the default values specified in the model.

be more than (B+50 ). Once declarative constraint is declared, it is always in force and it

need not to be referred by any other rule

party roles and Data-Party Classes

Ans: Rule-Obj-WorkParty

24. An Expression Rule allows process architects to define calculations in Excel

spreadsheets. Is this statement true or false?

formulas in Microsoft Excel, but are based on Java language conventions.

Also confuse expressions — used in many situations — with Declare Expression rules,

which create expressions that are evaluated automatically

Procedural rule: in this model the developer decides when a piece of processing needs to happen, writes

the code, and then explicitly calls in the appropriate situation to invoke that processing. In simple words

these rules need to be explicitly referred.

Declarative rule: In this model, we define or declare what processing to be performed in a declarative

rule. The PRPC automatically invokes that rule when ever appropriate, depending on the rule type.

databases, not your Process Commander database(s). Why?

Ans: In PRPC database tables, not all properties are exposed as columns of DB. Some

properties are part of the blob. If you write queries expecting as exposed column, things

may break. Preferably you should use Obj-open or obj-List mwthods with PRPC tables
