Versioned and Un-Versioned Rules
[ Versioned Rule ] [ Un-V ersioned Rule ] [ Manually Created Rules ]
Versioned Rule
Any rule in pega which has a check-out option on the rule from is the versioned rule, which means there can be multiple versions of the rule
in the system and the rule resolution algorithm would take care of choosing the right version of rule.
Examples of Version rules are :

Un-Versioned Rule
Any rule in pega which doesn’t have an option check-out and can only do Save from the rule from is the un-versioned rule, which means
there will be a single version of the rule in the system

STF Flow
This document briefs on managing the Entities, Graphs and Mock services(if applicable) under Buckets.
Upgrades
The Upgrade journey will have different customer flows and every flow will start with getting customer details along with recommendations
that needs to be shown.
Get Customer API calls involves
Creating new customer data in Spine which need STF to create data in spines for new customers
External API calls GetProcessedServiceList(GPSL), GetCustomerPartyList(GCPL), CustomerRetentionEligibility(CRE) which need
STF to create data in clipboard pages and datasets
AOM API calls GetRecommendations which we get data from Dataflows / Strategies
GetProductList API is called for each product type so we can create a mock service in STF. Response for service will be returned based
on product type.
GetStockAvailability is called for each product so we can create a mock service in STF. Response for service will be returned based on
product Id.
So we will have an STF Bucket for each flow and below are different customer flows

The system now automatically turns off draft mode for any processes that contain no configuration issues, instead of having to manually

When you add a process to your case life cycle, by default the process is in draft mode. Draft mode provides an option to test the case type
before you advance with your application development, even if processes in your case life cycle contain configuration issues. When a
process is in draft mode, you can check its run-time behavior by running the process or previewing it in a user portal, even if the process
contains errors. However, to ensure that the process works correctly after you deploy your application in a production environment, you | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |

Obtain approvals from email and push notifications from App Studio
In App Studio you can now completely configure an approval email in a no-code and user-friendly way, so that users of your application can
approve or reject cases without logging in to an application, and as a result, speed up case resolution.
Previously composing an email message and adding attachments required switching to Dev Studio. | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |
6b1fd3e4e2c5-0 | 3978
Determine a relevant case approver by using business logic
Previously business logic was available only for routing assignments, and now you can use this option for routing approval steps as well.
Instead of manually selecting a person or work queue to receive an approval request, you can now define conditions that determine, at run
time, who approves a case. Apart from operators and work queues, you can also consider the skill set, availability, and workload of the
approver.
By using business logic, you create a flexible application that dynamically adjusts work to current circumstances, so that you can still
resolve a case even if the approver is difficult to determine. To ensure that unique and complex cases reach a resolution, you can create an
entire set of conditions. In addition, you can specify a routing method that your application applies when no condition evaluates to true. The
following figure shows a scenario in which a job candidate applies for a different position than French translator, and the urgency of the
case is lower than 85. Consequently, the application routes the approval step to a specific manager: | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |
3bae7ebd5f38-0 | 3979
Capture initial data faster with the default Create stage
To speed up case creation and accommodate the most frequent business needs, Case Designer now adds a default Create stage to your
case life cycle every time you create a new case type, both in App Studio and Dev Studio. The Create stage includes a view with fields that
users fill in to capture required data before case processing starts.
After case created:
Create step has header but UI is not created automatically
A default Create stage facilitates the application development process by making a case life cycle independent of the p y S t a r t C a s e starting
process. As a result, your application is more granular and easier to maintain.
The Create stage also enhances workload management, because users can now discard any case that is in the Create stage, before the
case processing starts. A discarded case has a Resolved-Cancelled status, and, worklists and work queues consequently omit such | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |
b72f77f1842f-0 | 3980
discarded cases.
After you upgrade to Pega Platform™ 8.5, you can choose to include the Create stage in your existing case types. If you decide not
to include the Create stage, all of your case types still continue to operate correctly.
For more information, see The Create stage. | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |
89e5a57f92eb-0 | 3981
Save time and effort with automatic draft off mode for processes in case types
To reduce development time and effort, when you save a case type, the system now automatically turns off draft mode for any processes
that contain no configuration issues, instead of having to manually turn draft off mode in Dev Studio . When a process is in draft mode, you
can check its run-time behavior by running the process or previewing it in a user portal, even if the process contains errors. However, to
ensure that the process works correctly after you deploy your application in a production environment, you need to turn off draft mode
before moving relevant rulesets to the production environment. For an application that consists of multiple case types with multiple
processes, this activity can be tedious and time-consuming. Additionally, you need to switch to Dev Studio to manually turn off draft mode.
For greater convenience, saving a case type in App Studio and Dev Studio now automatically switches off draft mode for processes that
contain no configuration issues so that you can seamlessly deploy your application on a production environment.
Additionally, to ensure that your processes are correct, Case Designer now displays a message that lists errors in your case type. You can
quickly check what the issues are and locate the processes that needs fixing, as in the following example:
For the above case, when we create the view for Test step and save the case, the warning is removed automatically | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |

Nested Declare Trigger rules
Pega 8.5 supports nested Declare Trigger rules which means you can configure a Declare Trigger on the output of another trigger which
means when the first declare trigger rule is triggered it will update another value and then the second trigger rule will be the trigger that can
be used in process automation like sending notifications or update some other child table when a specific value is updated in Database
You can nest only the Save and Save and types of Declare Trigger rules that run immediately.
For faster application development, you can now define complex correlations between events in your case types by nesting Declare Trigger
rules. Declare Trigger rules invoke activities when a specified action takes place in a case. By nesting Declare Trigger rules, you avoid
implementing unclear logic in your application. You can nest as many levels of rules as your business use case requires. For example, in an
application for reviewing job candidates, you can create a Declare Trigger rule that starts a child case every time a candidate requires a
background check. When the background check is finished, the second Declare Trigger rule prompts your application to create a document
with the results and attach it to the case. Then another Declare Trigger rule invokes an activity that sends an email with the background
check results to the job candidate.
Below are the sample Declare Trigger rules which will be invoked when FirstName and FullName column is updated.
In this example, CalculateFullName Trigger Rule will be invoked when First Name is updated in the Database and
CalculateFullName Activity is invoked to perform the required task/job which updates the FullName Property in Database which then
invokes the CalculatePetName Trigger Rule will be invoked when Full Name is updated in the Database and CalculatePetName
activity will be invoked | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |

Create conditions in an enhanced condition builder (8.5)
You can now increase the precision of your conditions by applying a new comparator in both App Studio and Dev Studio. With the new
comparator called instances include you can specify the number of fields in a group, such as phone models, and fields in an ordered list,
such as a list of addresses of a customer, that meet the condition that you configure in when rule. For example, as a sales representative,
you need to provide at least three black phones of a specific brand to your customer. By creating a when rule with two conditions, one for
the color, and one for the brand, and setting the instances include a comparator to is greater than or equal to 3, you can seamlessly and
quickly filter the results of Phone field group instances, as in the following example:

Identify performance issues with queue processor and job scheduler activities
Improve the performance of your application’s activities, which often access databases or external services, by analyzing new alert
messages. When a queue processor activity or a scheduled job runs longer than the threshold value, Pega Platform™ now saves an alert
in the performance alert log. You can analyze these alerts directly in the log or by using Pega Predictive Diagnostic Cloud™ (PDC) to
identify and address potential performance issues with long-running processes.
For example, for a Queue Processor rule for sending emails to users, the Long-running queue processor threshold for the rule is 5000
milliseconds or 5 seconds. When the rule runs as scheduled, email processing takes 25 seconds, which exceeds the threshold. Pega
Platform saves the PEGA0117 alert: Long-running queue processor activity to the log file. Upon investigation, you discover that the cause
for the excessive processing time is an issue with network latency and the email server’s responsiveness. Therefore, you restart the email
server. The next time the send email queue process runs, the activity ends after 4.5 seconds, which is within the threshold, and no alert is
generated.
The following figure shows the threshold configuration for the Queue Processor rule:

Automatically update dependent applications to be built on the latest application
versions in an archive
When you import a product archive, you can now automatically update dependent applications to be built on the latest versions of the
dependent applications that you select. This can save time and reduce the errors that can occur when you manually update applications to
use new built-on application versions.
For example, if you are creating a product archive from the HR Services app, which contains MyDemoApp and Applicat, you can specify
that you want to update dependent applications for MyDemoApp and Applicat on the HR Services Product rule form, as shown in the
following figure:
Applications that are built on earlier versions of Applicat and MyDemoApp are automatically updated to be built on the latest versions after
you import the archive. | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |

Enhance your data sets with Apache HBase 2.1 and Hadoop 3.0 (8.5)
Pega Platform™ now supports Apache HBase to release 2.1 and Apache Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) to release 3.0. If you
store your enterprise data in HDFS and HBase clusters, you can use Pega Platform to perform read and write operations on the data in an
external Apache Hadoop ecosystem.
A Hadoop ecosystem provides a framework for dynamic, real-time processing of high-volume data. With Pega Platform, you can
access these large data sets and define them as data sources for your decision strategies and data flows.
The following diagram shows how Pega Platform connects to an external Hadoop ecosystem to read and write the data that is stored in
HBase and HDFS clusters:
1. Create an Instance of D a t a - A d m i n - H a d o o p Rule

Access and curate your data by using enhanced data APIs (8.5)
You can now easily access data in your UI React tables and organize your data efficiently with enhanced data APIs. By using data APIs,
you can sort, filter, and group data that you retrieve from Pega Platform™. For example, you can specify the maximum results that you
retrieve from a data page or sort the results by name.
Data APIs now include the following endpoints:
/data_views/{ID} - For fetching data from a data page
/data_views/{ID}/count - For retrieving the total result count
/data_views/{ID}/metadata - For getting model information for a given data view ID
/data_objects - For getting a list of data objects for cases and data types, as well as default data pages
You can access the data APIs in Dev Studio, App Studio, and Admin Studio. The following figure shows the data APIs in Dev Studio:

Limit the number of active data flow runs (8.5)
You can now control how many data flow runs can be active at the same time by using the m a x _ a c t i v e _ r u n s dynamic system settings.
Configure a maximum number of concurrent runs that are allowed for a node type to ensure the optimal use of system resources. For
example, you can minimize the impact of multiple batch data flow runs on your system capacity.
If the limit is reached, the system queues subsequent runs and waits for active runs to stop or finish before queued runs can start. When the
Data Flow service has enough capacity, which means that there are fewer active runs for the node type than the configured limit, the oldest
queued runs start automatically.
Set the value to a number greater than zero to define a limit, for example, 10. You can use the special value –1 to indicate that the system
can schedule an unlimited number of runs in the service.
Go to Records → SysAdmin → Dynamic System Settings and search for max_active_runs on setting purpose column. Update any node
type to define a limit on DF run execution at the same time
If DF’s exceed the capacity which is defined in DSS, the upcoming DF’s are queued as below. Once the previous one is completed, the next
DF in the queue starts to run. Please note that below 2 DF’s are in Batch service so that It does not run more than 1(as defined in the DSS
above) DF at the same time
Please see that once the DF which is InProgress is completed, the queued DF is initialized as below | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |

Call authenticated APIs from any application (8.5)
You can call an API with any application to which a user has access, instead of with only the default application. This enhancement makes it
easy to switch between applications in the React UI, and to make API calls within your Pega application.
When you specify the application name in your application alias URL, at run time, the REST service chooses the access group in the
operator record that most closely corresponds with that application. Additionally, you can develop REST services without changing the
access group in the service package.
The following figure shows the application alias URLs available for each application to which an operator has access.
Invoking a REST service rule
Call a REST service rule from an external system to invoke an action in your application or retrieve data from Pega Platform. For example,
you can call a REST service to get the details of a case or assignment. You can specify the application context in which to run the API by
using the application alias URL.
1. To call a REST service rule, use api in the URL, and append the three-part key to the rule to the URL. Use the following syntax:
https://appname.pegacloud.io/contextroot/api/packageName/version/resourcepathURL
Although you can still call a REST service by specifying /PRRestService, as a best practice, use api.
2. To call an authenticated REST service in the context of the access group of a specific application, specify the application alias in the
endpoint URL:
If your application does not have an application alias, the system uses the application identifier.
For non-multitenant environments, enter: http://host/prweb/<servletname>/app/appAlias/api/<service package>/... | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |
bd2dfb32ed3f-1 | For multitenant environments, enter: http://host/prweb/<servletname>/app/appAlias/api/TenantHash/<service package>/...
For calls without a servlet, enter: http://host/prweb/app/appAlias/api/<service package>/...
For API service packages, enter: http://host/prweb/app/appAlias/api/...
For example:
The following access groups are listed in your operator record. To run a service in the context of the AG2 access group, invoke the following
application alias URL: http://host/prweb/<servletname>/app/app2/api.
AG1 application1 app1
AG2 application2 app2
AG3 application3 app3Access group Application Application alias | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |
db71ea9897ff-0 | 4002
Result:
The system chooses the first access group listed in the operator record that matches the application alias. The service then runs in the
context of the selected access group. | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |

Control empty behavior in your JSON data transform
In a JSON Data Transform, you can now set the new field ‘Empty Behavior’ to control the mapping results when a property does not exist,
exists with an empty value, or exists with a non-empty value.
You can set ‘Empty Behavior’ with one of the following:
Default value – The serializer maintains the preexisting value. This configuration supports backward compatibility with releases that
precede Pega Platform™ 8.5.
Null – Represents a null value in JSON when the associated ClipboardPage or ClipboardProperty exists with an empty value or does
not exist.
Skip – Skips mapping in JSON when the associated ClipboardPage or ClipboardProperty exists with an empty value or does not exist.

Overview
This page describes the Landing Pages displayed in the Offers Case(Microsite) and how the pages are populated with content. The
attributes used to display the pages are detailed below.
In the event of Landing Pages not displaying as expected, please check the relevant attribute(s) on the page and the value(s) returned in
Decision Data.
Offers pages
The Offers Landing Pages content is populated from attributes that are set in Decision Data - T2TVAttributes and T2TVActions. These are
returned from logic data flows in the Offers Case.
The attributes used to display each screen are detailed below. If any screens do not display as expected, the attribute values should be
checked first.
The value set in T2TVAttributes - TreatmentAttributes.SectionName determines which of the Offers screens to display.
Section Templates
Currently, we have 3 types of templates than can be used to configure an offer.
Parent Single Action page
It is used to display only parents with a single action and the template used for this is SingleActionInformationPage | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |

TreatmentAttributes.SectionName = "SingleActionInformationPage" (set in T2TVAttributes)
The page content is populated from the following name/value properties in TreatmentAttributes set in T2TVAttributes.
Action buttons are populated from T2TVActions Decision Data attributes - ActionTemplateType & ActionTemplateDetail.
There are currently 2 types of Action buttons – The Product Add On button and the Redirect button.
Parent with Children page
This is used if we want to display a single parent and one or more children. The template used for this is ParentWithCardChildren.HeaderSectionRule The header is shown with the Vodafone logo.This should be a valid Section rule name.

Output
Overview
We use simulations to simulate the decisioning for customers in batch and realtime customers. To use OOB simulation, we need some
manual steps to get the desired summary output. To overcome this, the Simulation case has been introduced to automate the process. This
document briefs on how to run the simulation case using the portal.
Running a Simulation
To run the simulation, we need to use the simulation portal. Go to 1. Launch portal --> 2. AOMManagement
Next, click 1. Simulation --> 2. Create New
Now configure the Simulation case that you wish to create | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |
aa504ba91852-0 | 4020
Types
Currently, the simulation case supports 3 types of simulation Types
1. Funnel - gives the statistics of an offer in the framework at each funnel. It can drill down and see how different components influence
decision outcomes
2. Distribution - used to inspect the number of actions offered in general, the number of actions across various channels, the average
propensity of the actions, the ranks at which each action is offered, and so on. This is particularly useful when creating or changing an
action and understanding the possible implications of that change.
3. Customer - can track at which funnel the customer is passed/dropped and gives the statistics per an Individual Customer in the
framework
Base Line Data Settings
The simulation case supports the following base line data settings:
1. No base line data
2. Create new Base Line data - a new baseline dataset will be created for the selected Simulation Type after truncating the current dataset
if it existed already
3. Use existing Base Line data - run the simulation on the previously created baseline dataset for the selected Simulation Type
Selecting this option does not require Execution Mode-specific fields outlined in the “Execution Modes” section below
Execution Modes
The simulation supports the following execution modes:
1. BatchNBA: Simulation is executed for the selected customers who are in AOM subscription spine | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |
656b9c10aa60-0 | 4021
Segments are used for customer selection
2. GetNBA: Simulation is executed for the selected customers who have interacted via GetNBA API
Customer along with context are stored in the inbound_subscription_context table as part of GetNBA call which will be the source
for GetNBA simulation
3. TIL: Simulation is executed for the selected customers who have interacted via GetBundleEvent API
Customer along with context are stored in the bundle_event_context table as part of TIL call which will be the source for TIL
simulation
BatchNBA
1. Select or type in a Segment from the above dropdown. Only segments that begin with “SIM_” are displayed in the dropdown
2. Optionally, you can choose to refresh the segment during the run
GetNBA
1. Select a Channel which enables the Sub Channel dropdown selection
2. Select a Sub Channel, which enables Primary Context selection. If “N/A” is the only Primary Context (and hence the only Secondary
Context), these values are selected automatically
3. Select a Primary Context, which enables Secondary Context selection. If “N/A” is the only Secondary Context, this value is selected
automatically
4. Select a Secondary Context
Each subsequent dropdown contains a list of values based on the selected previous GetNBA properties i.e. only a combination existing in
inbound_subscription_context can be selected.
5. & 6. After all four of these properties are selected, a date range needs to be chosen. Only customers with request dates in this range will
be processed from inbound_subscription_context
The minimum and maximum date is calculated based on this request data. The date range must be within this minimum/maximum.
In this example, the Primary Context “T radeIn” is the only option
for Channel: Retail, Sub Channel: Basket | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |
0edffb82f728-0 | 4022
TIL
1. Select or type in a value for NTID from the dropdown
2. & 3. After the NTID is selected, a date range needs to be chosen. Only customers with request dates in this range will be processed from
bundle_event_context
The minimum and maximum date is calculated based on this request data. The date range must be within this minimum/maximum.
Output
Based on type and execution mode (for Customer type), the simulation case will output the results to the corresponding table. Below are the
details:
Funnel Any simulation_funnel_summary
Distribution Any simulation_distribution_summary

How to Run a Loader Case - Loading files
Step1: Update AOMConfig Data Type
Step2: Load latest Data files on S3 Bucket
Step3: Run Loader Case
Step1: Update AOMConfig Data Type
As per below screenshot, ensure that AOM config has correct values for LoaderEntityList. For example, if a new Loans view has been
added in the database then it should have an entry here. If you’re unsure what values should be included in LoaderEntityList please search
the file name provided by data team as per 2nd screenshot below. As best practice, please ensure to take a backup of AOMConfig
before you make changes and once tested import backup file including your changes and test again.
AOMConfig LoaderEntitiyList:
Search for right ConfigName:
Step2: Load latest Data files on S3 Bucket
First login to realtime/appserver as per below screen shot and create a copy of the files supplied by the data team in your folder. If you don't
currently have a folder best to create one as per below and then copy files.
Open MPutty & Login to bastion by using Authy: | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |
f2608e8d7cb7-0 | 4024
Copy the verification code using the copy button on Authy and do a right click on MPutty to paste it. Once done, leave the bastion session
open and open appserver
Setting permissions to get access
If you are getting the Permission denied error, instead of using root user to open protected directories, change to the correct user first.
Use sudo -i and then sut to change to tomcat user.
Use below commands to get to the right location and create your folder: | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |
d2d3f18427bb-0 | 4025
cd => change directory command to go to the right directory
ll => show list of items in the folder you’re in
mkdir => create new directory
Once your folder is created, go to the location where the latest files are stored by the data team and copy and paste them into your new
folder ready to be Synced into S3 Bucket location. Location where the data team has placed files will be in their email as per below sample
email:
Sample email from Data Team:
Commands to copy files from above location into your folder:
cp -p *.zip => Copy and Paste all Zip files form the current directory into destination directory (which should be the folder you’ve
created)
Create our own dummy data:
To check the data in existing file use command: | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |
f95905a945a4-0 | 4026
cat filename
eg. cat device_20200714000000_full_00.dsv.csv
The empty lines represent null values. You can insert dummy data into the database table using SQL and then export the file into csv
format. Remove the column names on top of the csv file and ensure that it is converted to dsv format. You can do manually by replacing
the commas with delimeters e.g.
Import this file into your own folder - /home/name using winscp or you can import using import button in MobaXterm.
Then copy this file from your file into /mnt/share/aom/... using copy command in terminal
Make sure the folder is in tomcat and not root by using the command : chown tomcat:tomcat foldername
For files - chown tomcat:tomcat filename
Once the dsv file is uploaded into the folder, the file needs to be in zipped, encrypted and put into readme format.
To zip file, first check if you have zip installed by running this command zip --version
If the program returns the program version then you can simply zip the file using the command -
zip filename | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |
46cc0c7682d8-0 | 4027
Otherwise, first install zip - sudo apt install zip unzip, then run the command once installed
Zip command - zip device_202302151149_full_00.dsv.csv.zip device_202302151149_full_00.dsv.csv
To encrypt use the following command
gpg --homedir /mnt/share/aom/.gnupg --yes --batch --output device_202302151149_full_00.dsv.csv.zip.gpg --recipient
[email protected] --encrypt device_202302151149_full_00.dsv.csv.zip
To decrypt use the following command - useful for decrypting an existing file to make an update to that file
gpg --homedir /mnt/share/aom/.gnupg --yes --batch --passphrase passphrase --output device_202302151149_full_00.dsv.csv.zip --decrypt
device_202302151149_full_00.dsv.csv.zip.gpg
Make sure the file is tomcat and not root!
Make checksum file
cksum device_202302151149_full_00.dsv.csv.zip.gpg > device_202302151149_full_00.dsv.csv.zip.gpg.cksum
Make readme file by creating a new file called device_202302151149_full.readme - this should be in format specified in AOMconfig in
file attributes
Command for new file - touch device_202302151149_full.readme
Then copy device_202302151149_full_00.dsv.csv.zip.gpg file into that file by using command -
echo device_202302151149_full_00.dsv.csv.zip.gpg > device_202302151149_full.readme
This file can then be copied into the core folder and sync process can start as mentioned below.

How to create a Renegotiation case with mock data
Step1
Create necessary mock services and update mashup Data transform for renegotiation case
Mashup Name: Mashup_Mock_Renegotiation DataTransform - You can save as and update CaseId and DealId with your previous case,
according to the test scenario.
Validate Basket Mock Service: You can use your ValidateBasket Graph for VB response, according to the test scenario.
Get Customer Mock Service: You can use your GetCustomer Graph for GC response, according to the test scenario. You can skip it, if
your previous case has the same day.
Step2
Save a recommendation in the previous case.
There are two ways to do that:
1. Click Select button for any of recommendations and close the case.
2. Add Save=True property in the recommendation level in your GR mock service for one of the recommendations.
All setup is done for the previous case.
Step3
Use the corresponding VB mock service and GC mock service(if required) for the test scenario and then launch the VADR with a
renegotiation mashup.
Don't forget to update the recommendation page in your VB response graph while working on your VB mock service.
Because eventually, your recommendation which is saved in the previous case will be replaced with whatever you put in the VB response. | VODKB-200723-160306.pdf |

Overview
This document covers how to run the simulation without using a simulation landing page. This document covers create and run of Funnel
and Distribution simulation types.
Simulation Preprocess
We need to run some preprocessing steps to set up the data for simulation.
SimulationPreProcess activity
The VFUK-FW-AOMFW-Work.SimulationPreProcess activity will do the following steps to achieve this.
InsertSimulationLookupData
The simulation_lookup table contains proposition data and this is needed when we run queries to view the simulation funnel output.
SubscriptionDataForBatchNBA
SubscriptionDataForBatchNBA is used as an input for both simulations. Before running the simulation we need to make sure the
SubscriptionDataForBatchNBA has the updated customer data with intents.
This activity is used to load the simulation_lookup table with the latest proposition data by calling VFUK-FW-AOMFW-Data-
Subscription.InsertSimulationLookupData activity and load the SubscriptionDataForBatchNBA dataset using PrepareDataForBatchNBA
