What are data transforms primarily used for in PRPC?

Data transforms in Pega Rules Process Commander are primarily utilized for mapping or translating data between different formats or structures. This capability allows developers to take input from various sources and restructure it according to the needs of an application or a specific process within the application.

By using data transforms, users can efficiently move data between different contexts, such as from one property to another or between clipboard pages. This is especially useful when integrating external data or when varying the data structure is necessary based on the operations being performed. The transformation of data can include converting data types, renaming properties, or populating properties based on specific logic.

This ability to convert and adapt data makes data transforms an essential tool in ensuring that data is accurately represented and used effectively throughout a Pega application. The other options—compiling application code, creating user interface design, and managing application deployment—do not relate directly to the primary function of data transforms in PRPC.
