Use Linux packages (rpm/deb) for deploying Pega PRPC application

Hello,

Is it possible to use not RAP rules that export zip/jar product files and that we need manually import on different enviroment, but rpm or deb packages? Is there any OOTB solution for this or, maybe, someone already implement something like this?

Hi


I must say that it is a good question, however , i dont think we have any such mechanism present thru which you can achive Debian or Red Hat Package.


I believe this can be taken as an enhancement request ! Let me do some more research and get back to you on this, Meanwhile let s see whether anyone else has anything to share.

I agree with Santanu - this is a very interesting question.


But I'm not sure in practice what this idea would mean ? Since rpm/deb packages are designed specifically to install Linux pakages onto Linux Operating Systems; things like binary files, shell-scripts, configuration files etc.


Whereas the content of a Pega RAP file is different : they contain Rules/Data (and possibly other types of artifacts to a lesser extent) - Rules and Data are essentially (in a first approximation here) just 'database records'.


Do you mean that it would be helpful to have RAP files (sort-of?) in the Format/Structure of a DEB/RPM file.


Or do you mean that you would like to be able to run something like:


sudo apt-install my-new-pega-app <coords?> <RAP-FILE?>


From the Linux Command line and for this to be interpretted by the Linux OS that it should import PRPC Records etc ?


Thanks again!


John
