Update: Managing the code in different versions of Pega

General

Hello Everyone,

As part of Pega COE team, we manage the common code shared across multiple applications. Most of the applications were on 7.2, but now few of them updated their platform to 8.x. So we have started managing the code in multiple servers with different versions : 7.2, 8.2 and 8.4

Code changes that are done in 7.2 will be merged in 7.2 server and pushed to all 7.x and 8.x environments. Similarly code changes made in 8.2 server will be pushed to all 8.2 and above versions.

We receive 10+ merges on a daily basis and we deploy the same to multiple servers with different versions post merge.

My question here is - While migrating the code from 7.2 to 8.x we are not running any update scripts on the rules/data schema. Is it required?

If yes, is it recommended to run update scripts on a daily basis after each release? what is the best way to update the code. Please advise.

Thanks,

Fathima.

When migrating the application rules from 7.2 to 8.x using the Dev Studio import process the upgrade scripts should not be required.

For more information on moving applications between environments please review the following help articles:

Thanks John.

I guess this is applicable to Import through service (Deployment through Service Utils) as well. Correct?

Correct. The same can be achieved using prpc utils command line tool.
