PEGA Update and app separation strategy
We currently are on 7.1.8, and our instance has two applications. DB is DB2 v9.7.11
We want update our instance to 7.4 to DB2 v11 and also move one app to another 7.4 instance.
Please let us know the best process to do it.

The best way would be to install the new database, install Pega, then use the Application Migration wizard to move the application. You can move the app the same way - just use the Application Migration wizard to package the application and import it on the instance of Pega 7.4 you want to use.
See https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/articles/migrating-applications-application-packaging-wizard for information on the wizard.
You may have to do some manual testing to see if any behavior is different in Pega 7.4 and if so modify rules so they meet the 7.4 standards. The guardrails will help with this - there's a report that shows anything that uses deprecated rules, for example.

Issue is more complicated than this.
Right now we are on 7.1.8 pega version on database DB2 v9.7.11, we have to do upgrade on both PEGA to 7.4 version and database to DB2 v11.
This application is in production for couple of years now, so we have to deal with work objects and relevant data as well.

Adam Kraus's recommendations still apply to this scenario.
After importing (and testing) the application, the package work wizard should be able to handle the importing of data and work objects.
