The purpose of a data transform is to manipulate data in an application.

Data Transform helps to :

1. initialize the data automatically
2. Manipulate data
3. Copy data

Pega creates two data transforms automatically:

1. pydefault
2. pysetFieldsDefault

pyDefault Data Transfrom will be called automatically when we run the case. it is the first rule that gets called when we runs the case.

we know that pega follows a class hierachy. There are DT available in any of the parent classess inside the class hierarchy Whether a child class can make use of parent class DT ? YES how it can be used ? only if the Child DT calls the super class DT by using the option

Call superclass Data Transform

To exchange data between parent case and child case , we need to use _______ concept ans: Data Propagation Data Propagation is achieved using Data Transform in Dev Studio.
