7.2.1 prpc with 7.2 ear file
As per pega update ear redeployment is not required for prpc version update from 7.1.7 or later to higher version. We have updated prpc from 7.2 to 7.2.1 without redeploying 7.2.1 ear file. My app is working fine and version is showing 7.2.1. So in case of fresh prpc 7.2.1 , will my app work if I deploy 7.2 ear?

So you are planning to deploy a fresh PRPC instance of 7.2.1 and then import the Application there which is built on 7.1.7 ? And you want to know whether it will work or not ? Is my assumption correct ?
If yes, then my answer will be, it will work as the core built on application will remain same : PegaRULES 07.10

No. I want to build application on prpc 7.2.1 only.
In case of update from 7.2 to 7.2.1 there is no need to deploy 7.2.1 ear. So 7.2 ear works fine with 7.2.1 prpc instance in case of update. Now for new prpc 7.2.1 installation this (deployment of 7.2 ear) will work or not that is my question.

Hello Dibyakanti,
I have gone through the following platform update guide https://docs.pega.com/pega-721-platform-update-guide and if you scroll through post-update configuration section it's clearly mentioned that we should replace the old ear with the new ear file from the archive directory .
If you deploy 7.2 ear for the 7.2.1 the latest code changes won’t be reflected it’s the same case with the fresh installation of 7.2.1 .

So it’s recommended to use the ear file which is shipped by default with the media .
Let us know if you have any other questions .

Yes Arun I agree with you. But below pdn article by pega suggests that its not required to redeploy application server specific ear

I guess for a fresh installation, it might not work.
