DecisionAnalyzer: Explainability Extract dataset

[DCIfmauersberger]

Hi, I’m trying to use the Explainability Extract dataset as described in this pdstools article. The documentation states:

“This dataset can be extracted from Infinity 24.1 and its preceding versions.”

I’m currently working with Pega Infinity versions 24.1 and 24.2 (involved in several organizations), but I can’t locate the actual dataset or instructions on how to export it from the Pega platform.

Questions:
1. What is the actual source of this dataset (e.g., database table, API endpoint, UI screen)?
2. Are there specific configurations needed to enable the logging of explainability data (e.g., a flag in the Adaptive Model rule)?
3. Is there a sample export or known schema available for testing with pdstools?
4. How can such a dataset be obtained from Pega Infinity 24.2 onwards?

Hi @DCIfmauersberger,

To access this dataset, a hotfix is required. Please review the types of analysis described in the article, and if you believe they would be valuable for your organization or help answer relevant questions, contact Pega Support for guidance on obtaining the hotfix.

You can see how we read the sample data at the start of the article. The sample data is here: https://github.com/pegasystems/pega-datascientist-tools/blob/master/data/sample_explainability_extract.parquet.

The notebook used for creating this article is here: https://github.com/pegasystems/pega-datascientist-tools/blob/master/examples/explainability_extract/explainability_extract.ipynb

Hi @yusufuyanik1 ,

Thanks for the clarification and the prompt reply.

To proceed with our internal request, could you please share the specific hotfix ID required to enable the Explainability Extract dataset? This would help us streamline the communication with Pega Support.

Hi @DCIfmauersberger,

I believe for your case HFIX-B2082 and HFIX-B2931 are required.

Is there any HF available for 24.2? Also, I can see that the output should be created from PageList property AnalysisExtensionList. What is not clear to me is when this gets created - as I cannot see any references to this property.

Hi @stephanmdc if you are on 24.2.1... then there is an evolution of this capability called Explainability Extract V2 (we have been discussing V1 here). If you are on 24.2.0, then you need to use Explainability Extract V1. The difference between the two is as follows, V1 is an extract from a single point in your framework, pre-arbitration. V2 gives you data from all the filterable points in your framework as defined in the configuration rule (set up for Next Best Action Designer strategy framework). If you are attempting to use V2 please reach out to me direct to discuss more, you can do this by raising a ticket with Pega Support and ask it to be routed to the supporting team.
