Upgrading to Deployment Manager 3.4.x

Updated on February 4, 2021

After you install Deployment Manager 3.4.x, you must do post-upgrade steps. Before you upgrade, ensure that no deployments are running, have errors, or are paused.

To upgrade to Deployment Manager 3.4.x either on Pega Cloud Services or on premises, perform the following steps:

  1. Enable default operators and configure authentication profiles on the orchestration server and candidate systems. For more information, see Configuring authentication profiles on the orchestration server and candidate systems.
  2. On each candidate system, add the PegaDevOpsFoundation application to your application stack.
    1. In the Designer Studio header, click the name of your application, and then click Definition.
    2. In the Built on application section, click Add application.
    3. In the Name field, press the Down arrow key and select PegaDevOpsFoundation.
    4. In the Version field, press the Down arrow key and select the version of Deployment Manager that you are using.
    5. Click Save.

    If you are upgrading from Deployment Manager 3.2.1, you do not need to do the rest of the steps in this procedure or the required steps in the remainder of this document. If you are upgrading from earlier releases and have pipelines configured, complete this procedure.

    Note: If you are upgrading from Deployment Manager 3.2.1, you do not need to do the rest of the steps in this procedure or the required configuration steps. If you are upgrading from earlier releases and have pipelines configured, complete this procedure.

    1. In the Designer Studio header, click the name of your application, and then click Definition.
    2. In the Edit Application rule form, on the Definition tab, in the Built on application section, for the PegaDeploymentManager application, press the Down arrow key and select 03.04.01.

      Note: All your current pipelines are stored in the first open ruleset. If you modified this ruleset after you created the application, select all the ruleset versions that contain pipeline data.
  9. In the target RuleSet/Information section, in the Name field, press the Down arrow key and select Pipeline Data.
