Hi guys, please clarify the following: If a UserA checks-out a rule then a rule copy is created for them. Another UserB does a private edit on the same rule. This private edit of a rule can be saved onto a branch or another ruleset you said, if so can these changes be merged after a user checks in and the rule is available? Or do we need to do a save-as for the same rule again and then check-out, do our edits and then check-in ?

[@yaswanthreddy9558]

In one operator they do changes their branch after he checkin. Then I run and execute, in the above branch rule is impact on my execution or it is take on the highest version of main rule.

How check in and check out concept work, when we are making changes using app studio?

[@myknowpega]

Hi Suresh, with App studio Pega takes care of the check out, check in processes and will not be shown to users developing from app studio. Citizen developers may find it difficult to under this checkin check out and hence pega didn't expose these options in the low code app studio platform

[@deepikanagireddy1432]

If a rule is checked out in latest version and some other user wants to unit test that rule, which rule will be picked by the other user,will the rule in latest version available to that other user?

[@myknowpega]

Hi Deepika, Let's say rule is in rulesetA in latest version on 01-01-34. User A checked out the rule from 01-01-34, so there will be two versions on a rule. One the Unchecked out rule which is 01-01-34 and the other checked out version of rule in the user private copy. Now for other user, say User B, latest version 01-01-34 will always be available and it will be picked up during rule execution.

hey Prem , what is release lock in Actions Menu?

[@myknowpega]

Hi, usually when the lock timeout is reached the lock can go into soft lock mode. Using the actions menu, you can easily release those soft locks and then you can acquire lock
