Glossary:Service Package
- Service Package, service package
- A name that groups one or more service rules that are designed to be developed, tested, and deployed together. For some service rule types, a service package corresponds to a package of Java classes.
Service packages are instances of the Data-Admin-ServicePackage class, and comprise the first key part of most service rules.

The basic building blocks of an application, rules define the behavior of an application. There are many types of rules, each defining a different type of behavior. For example, rules define the display of a form, the fields that are used in your application, and the flows that define the process of completing work.
The system can reuse rules throughout your application. For example, in an application for ordering replacements parts, you can define a user interface to capture an address, and reuse the same rule for the UI to capture both the mailing address and the billing address for the order.
You define rules in an application to create a business solution for your organization and customers. Rules provide flexibility during the development process and help you design applications more efficiently, so that they can be implemented again in future projects.
One of the following solutions:
- A file that contains code or a code library that you can import in a library rule or function rule. You can import external Java packages or customer packages (also known as service packages).
- A deployable solution that is ready to be used by Pega Robot Runtime. A deployment package contains two files with the .openspan and .manifest extensions. The .openspan file contains the specific adapter, translators, and custom components that make up the solution. The .manifest file contains a list of the contents of the .openspan file, along with project version information.
The rules that define the behavior of your application. You can create classes to gather rules related to a specific object in your application. For example, in a recruitment application, you can create a class that contains rules that define the flow of the recruitment process. Classes can contain other classes, hence a class that contains another class is called a parent class, while a class that is contained by another class is called a child class. A child class can reuse, or inherit, any of the rules that are defined for its parent class, which helps to build your application faster and more efficiently.
One to three fields that you specify on the Create form for every rule instance and data instance. The class rule determines the properties that form the key part for objects of a specific class, and in what order. If an object has only one key part, that value is often called the name of the object.
