What is Pega?
Pega is a tool for managing business processes developed in Java. It uses Java and OOPs concepts. It has become more popular
because of its agile way, flexibility, and extensibility. As Pega is a no-code tool, it is very easy for non-technical people to learn
how to build complex applications using Pega. It has a dev studio in it that allows the owners of the business, sales leaders, and
marketing teams to work directly with the developers to create new applications, automate and improve business processes and
learn the business as it works to improve the customer experience. All about Pega begins with the company's need and
customer experience, and it comes with decades of evolution to continuously improve.

What is SLA in Pega?

SLA stands for Service Level Agreement. SLA is one of the valuable features of the Pega CRM platform. Service Level
Agreements enable us to set up goals and deadlines as part of the case management process. The main purpose of SLA is to
help the task force to handle everything on time. Pega Rules Process Commander will monitor each SLA rule on taking care of
performing a particular event action that was configured on that specific rule. It also adjusts the urgency associated with that
task by increasing the urgency number. This may highlight the task in the employee's worklist as it requires attention. So, based
on the urgency of the task, we can sort the worklist. For every assignment, the default urgency is 10.

A Service Level Agreement defines time intervals as a goal and a timeline, which are used to standardize the way you solve
work in your application. It creates a deadline to complete the work. When we create a goal and deadline, Pega creates an SLA.
We can configure service levels for process, steps, stages, and entire classes. In Pega, there are four levels for SLA: start, Goal,
Deadline, and Passed deadline.

• Start: This is the step at which the service level timing begins. It begins at zeroth hour.
• Goal: It states how long the assignments should take. This step is measured from when the assignment or the case begins.
• Dead Line: It defines the amount of time the case or step may take before it is late. It is measured from the time when the
assignment or case begins.
• Passed Deadline: Passed Deadline defines when to take further action as the assignment or the case has passed the
deadline. It measures the time that passed since the deadline for a still open assignment.

Importance of SLA

• SLA makes sure that your service provider is on the same page in terms of standards and services. It is important to set
clear and measurable guidelines as they reduce the likelihood of client disappointment and provide recourse if the
obligations are not met.
• SLAs provide recourse for the unmet service obligation. If the obligations are not met by your service provider, then
there will be significant consequences for the reputation of your company. So, we must include consequences in the SLA
if performance standards are not met.
• SLA provides peace of mind to your clients. They have a contract to which they can refer, which enables them to hold
their service provider responsible and which specifies exactly the type of service they expect. If the agreed requirements
are not met, they can mitigate some of the impacts through financial compensation from their provider.

There are four types of SLAs. They are:

Assignment SLA:

An SLA referred to an assignment is known as assignment SLA. This SLA is started when the assignment is created and ended
when the assignment is completed. Under the newly Assigned Page, the assignment urgency is set in the property
pxUrgencyAssignSLA.

Case level SLA:

An SLA, when referred to the case level, is known as Case level SLA. Throughout the lifecycle of a case, this SLA is
applicable. It is started when a case is started and ends when the case is ended. This SLA is identified under the workpage in the
standard property pySLAName. It is set in a pxUrgencyWorkSLA property under pyWorkPage. Case level SLA urgency is set
in a pxUrgencyWorkSLA property under pyWorkPage.

Stage level SLA:

When an SLA is referred to at stage level, it is called Stage level SLA. It is started when a case enters a stage and stops when
the case leaves the stage. Urgency in Stage level is set in a pxUrgencyWorkStageSLA property under pyWorkPage.

Step level/Flow level SLA:

When an SLA is referred to as a step or flow level, it is called a Step level or Flow level SLA. A step level SLA starts when a
process or step is started and stops when the process or step is ended. A Flow level SLA is started when a flow is started and
stops when a flow is ended. A step SLA overrides a flow SLA if present. In the case type rule, step SLA can be referred to in
every step under the stage. A flow SLA is referred under the process tab of the flow rule. The flow or step level urgency is set
in the pxUrgencyWorkStepSLA property under pyWorkpage.

How to configure SLA?

An SLA is an instance of class Rule-obj-service level. This SLA event is written to the queue class System-Queue-service level
and is processed by an OOTB agent ServiceLevelEvents of the ruleset Pega-ProCom. In Record Explorer, SLA rules can be
found under the Process category.

• Start of Service-Level: This step involves setting up initial urgency and conditions to trigger the SLA rule.
Based on three different conditions, an SLA can be marked as ready. Only when a specific condition is met, the SLA
entry will be written to the queue class.
• Immediately: When this option is selected, SLA will be written to the queue class when the assignment with SLA gets
created.
Dynamically defined on a property: when this option is selected, it accepts a date-time property as the input, and when
