Product Overview

Pega BPM is a business rule management system (BRMS) designed to centralize and manage business rules independently from application code. This architecture promotes agility, maintainability, and scalability. The system supports multiple platforms, including z/OS, where it leverages DB2 for persistent storage of business rules.

The core components include the Rule Engine, Decision Management component, and Process Engine, which communicate through internal APIs and messaging systems. On z/OS, Pega BPM runs within an LPAR and is dependent on the z/OS operating system. It requires DB2 to store business rules.

The system exposes REST and SOAP APIs for integration with other enterprise applications. Authentication methods include LDAP, Active Directory, and SAML. Access control is managed through a role-based access control (RBAC) model.

Pega BPM's architecture allows for flexible deployment options, including on-premise, cloud, and hybrid environments.
