We recently migrated to Openshift container with version 8.8.3 during which pulled the pega-helm-charts and pega provided image once for deployment. We made some custom changes to pega-helm-charts files based on our Org’s need during the deployment process. Now we are planning to upgrade to 24.1.0 version. So we pulled the latest pega-helm-charts and 24.1.0 image for deployment after running the rulebase upgrade scripts(in-place approach). Deployment didn’t go through for the latest pega-helm-charts even with our Org specific changes. But then worked with old pega-helm-charts which we used for 8.8.3 version. Per our Openshift admins, helm chart is just for the objects that get created to run the deployment since the rulebase is upgraded outside of helm. Their suggestion is to keep the old pega-helm-charts setup for 24.1.0 also. Can someone confirm if that is fine? or do we need to pull latest pega-helm-charts only and deploy? Thanks!
hi mate, getting latest repo for helm charts is always good to have upto date changes but as there are few customisation made i recommend to compare the old repo with new repo and see if there are major differences
if the differences are less then better to use existing repo of he charts which is working already
Also as you already mentioned helm charts is only to deploy application this has nothing to do with inside application data or rules database
Thanks @BhanuPrasanthT for your response. There are quite a few differences. We tried to use the latest but then it failed. Fixed few but then OCP Admins are suggesting to use existing one. So wanted to confirm if we will miss anything from the Pega product version standpoint.
like i mentioned previously helm charts are to deploy applications so you can still proceed with old helm repo and see if this is impacting application
