Different methods of Activity

Create anew activity called Test
//ex: if you want to call Validate_User
Description Step Page Met

Cal Validate_User
1)
//to call an activity from another activity
2)
Branch Validate_User
//you can call another activity using branch also
********Difference between Branch and call?
If you call Validate_User , the control will come to Validate_User and again th
e control goes to test activity
if you a branch, the control will come to Validate_User but the control never g
oes to test activity, control finishes at Validate_User itself!
3)
Collect
//Pega has a collection called Rule-Declare-Collection
//In the Collection you can fire multiple collections, multiple property sets
// through collection you can set multiple number of properties as many as you w
ant
// or you can fire multiple number of activities also
//basicaly it is a sequence, if you want to fire multiple number of property set
s or activities sequentially then you can use this
// you can call a collection from an activity by saying Collect(space) collectio
nname
4)
Java
//To write code in Java
// expand by clicking on >> to write code
5)
ActivityEnd
// it will end the activity
//lets say, if you call one activity1 from that present activity and in that act
ivity1 if you have the method activityend then control will not come back to you
r present activity(calling activity) as activity ends in activity1
*********Difference between 'exit activity' and 'activityend'?
you call one activity1 from that present activity and in that activity1 if you h
ave the method exit activity then control will come back to your present activit
y(calling activity) from activity1
6)
ApplyModel
//model is a constructor which will execute
//you can give your modelname here itself, you can set your model here
//Exactly model means?
Whenever you are running a flow, at that time you want to set some predefined va
lue
at that time you don't have an activity while running the flow
so at that time you can set the value by using the model
7)
Commit
//to commit something in the db then you can you this method
//same like db commit
********Model will be applied when you create work object? why do you want to ca
ll applymodel inbetween activity?
inbetween activity sometime you might have predefined property also
you can make your own model also
model means some predefined value is there, sometimes it is needed that in betwe
en application you need predefined value in that assignment
//instead of model you can do propertyset but is not feasible
//there is a collection, in the collection you can set property also(you can set
many properties in collection)

you call one activity1 from that present activity and in that activity1 if you h
ave the method exit activity then control will come back to your present activit
