Closing pega application and database.

Hi team,

We have a Pega application (7.4 ) and oracle DB 11gR2. The service is now not in use and we have to demise both the application and DB servers.

Now the requirement is we have to purge few years data and take data archival. since we are planning to demise the application,

  1. Can we decrypt the blob data while archiving.

  2. Can we retrieve the archived data without pega application.

Can you please suggest the right approach or alternate approach to execute this requirement.

@SivaK17078241 To archive and purge data from your Pega application and Oracle DB, you can use Pega’s built-in tools. However, decrypting blob data during archiving and retrieving archived data without the Pega application are complex tasks that may require specialized knowledge. I recommend consulting with a Pega expert or a database administrator who is familiar with Pega and Oracle DB. They can provide a more detailed and tailored approach based on your specific needs and constraints.
