Import existing app

We wanted to find out Pega’s recommendations on how to import an existing application into Pega BluePrint. Currently, we are using Application Document Generation to create the application documentation and import it into Pega. However, this method has some inconsistencies. We are looking for an import solution that can bring in as much data as possible.

Hello @Imranullah-db,

We have an option in App Studio to export an application as a Blueprint. You can use this to export your existing application as a Blueprint file.

Once that’s done, you can create a new Blueprint at AI Workflow Builder | Pega Blueprint. While doing this, you can select the Blueprint file from your existing application as a supporting document. This should allow you to create a new Blueprint based on your existing application.

@SumanKumar - This is a great feature, this is will address our requirement. Thanks for sharing this with us.

@Imranullah-db Keep us posted on your progress. Any recommendations or feedback is appreciated :slightly_smiling_face:

:white_check_mark: Great to hear!
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Blueprint export. We’re so glad to hear it worked smoothly and brought in all the Cases and Data Types as expected.

It’s fantastic that you were able to build on your current application workflows. That’s exactly the kind of progress we love to see!

Your feedback is truly appreciated—please keep it coming!

@SumanKumar Thanks for sharing!

Will this feature be available in earlier versions like Pega infinity '23 ?

@GeorgeH17281400 That’s a great question. We’re currently developing ideas to make this feasible in older Pega versions. We’ll provide more details as we progress.

@kuchj1 Its available on latest Infinity 24 version as well.

Regards,

@ChristineFioresi ,The blueprint export worked great! It had all of the Cases and Data types imported into Blueprint. I was able to start with the current application workflows and data and go from there to add in improvements.

@SumanKumar Hi is this only available in I '25 then? I just want to clarify as I have a need to perform this export in I '23. Thank you!
