6.1 to 7.4 Upgrade - missing step in Upgrade documentation?
We are intending to upgrade a PRPC application from 6.1 SP2 to 7.4. In the "Pega74-upgrade_0.pdf" (downloaded from the PDN) it says that for single-to-split schema upgrade, we need to do the following:
- If we upgrade with two DBs, we run the following in order: migrate.bat, upgrade.bat, migrate.bat (again), upgrade.bat (again, with "--dataonly true").
- If we upgrade with one DB, we run the following in order: migrate.bat, upgrade.bat, upgrade.bat (again, with "--dataonly true"), i.e. we omit the second run of migrate.bat.
Is this correct? Or is this step missing by accident?

Hi,
It can be little confusing, but I will try to explain what going on here.
For scenario in which you created two new schema PEGA74DATA and PEGA74RULES
Here migrate.bat (for Rules migration) followed by upgrade.bat (for Rules upgrade). Then migrate.bat(for moving tables from 6.3 schema to a new schema you would have created for 7.4 data schema) and finally upgrade.bat(for upgrading on the migrated schema i.e., 7.4 data schema)
For scenario in which you created one new schema PEGA74RULES and would use the old PEGA63 schema for data
Here migrate.bat (for Rules migration) followed by upgrade.bat (for Rules upgrade). Now you omit the migrate if you still want to continue the schema of 6.3 schema as it still has the data (NOTE: till now in this step you have done only rule migrate and upgrade). So since you want to continue with the same schema you can run the upgrade.bat on 6.3 schema.
I did this long back, so attaching the upgrade script I followed. You can refer this, it should help clear your doubts.
Don't follow it as a guide, its an old file I don't remember if I made some mistake while writing everything.
But the concept of those two steps is what I explained above.
Hope this helps.
Thank You
