Configuring the Adaptive Decision Manager service for Pega Cloud Services

The Adaptive Decision Manager (ADM) service provides predictions of customer behavior by creating adaptive models based on customer responses to your offers. With adaptive models, you can ensure that your next-best-action decisions are always relevant and based on the latest customer behavior.

If you use Pega Cloud Services, the default system behavior is to take adaptive model data snapshots at intervals that are determined by the ADM snapshot agent schedule, typically every night. You can change this default setting and configure the ADM service to take snapshots every time the model is updated.

CAUTION:
If you enable this option for a prolonged period, the increased number of snapshots might cause database space issues.
  1. In the navigation panel of Dev Studio, click Records > SysAdmin > Dynamic System Settings.
  2. Add the admmart/snapshotAtEveryUpdate setting:
    1. On the Dynamic System Settings tab, click Create.
    2. On the New tab, enter a short description of the dynamic system setting.
      For example: Take snapshots at every model update
