Migrating the legacy chat queues
Omnichannel queues are introduced in the Pega Customer Service application to handle conversations from synchronous and asynchronous channels, such as chat and Facebook Messenger, using a single queue. This feature helps the administrators to configure and maintain the incoming traffic from different channels in a single queue. A utility is introduced in Pega Customer Service for Financial Services for Chat 8.1 or earlier users to update their existing chat queues to the new Omnichannel queues. The utility migrates the legacy chat queues to the omnichannel queues by auto-populating the new properties of the omnichannel queues with the default values. An administrator can modify the default values after migrating the legacy chat queues to the omnichannel queues.
To migrate the legacy chat queues, complete the following steps:
- In the header of Dev Studio, click Configure Dev Studio > Customer Service > Migrate to Omni-Channel Queues.
- Select a chat server for which you want to migrate the legacy chat queue from the Select chat server list.
- Select the Legacy chat queues to migrate check box.
- Click Migrate.
- Verify the selected queues and click Submit.
