We are planning to upgrade our Pega 7.2.x Instance and Pega 7.4 Instance to a single Pega 8.x instance.

What is the best approach to follow to have all the applications running on 7.2.x and 7.4 to run on Single Pega 8.x instance?

Hi @sumarao9: When you say 2 different versions of PEGA to be merged to single 8.x instance, basically you are trying to merge 2 code base / 2 DB into single code version / DB. What I would suggest is either of the below.

  • Upgrade one of the application to the latest version of PEGA first and deploy the other code base to the latest 8.x version.
  • Upgrade both versions to 8 and do a code sync

Few impacted areas which you need to be careful:

  • Conflicts to be verified between both versions of your source in terms of organization category rules and data, classes, rulesets, access rights of users
  • OOTB table overrides to be verified
  • DSS and other data instance conflicts

As a alternate, check if process fabric can solve your problem of merging.
