Migrating data from Pega Sales Automation for Insurance 7.22 or 7.31

Updated on September 20, 2021

Review the following information to migrate data from Pega Sales Automation for Insurance 7.22 or 7.31.

Pega Customer Relationship Management for Insurance 8.6 Post-update Tasks for Pega Cloud services Environments
Note:
  • Review the migration activities and check with any additional vertical implementation processes to determine if there are additional, required customization steps or configurations. If so, backup the system database before running the activities.
  • Review the code to ensure that the obj-browse / RDs retrieve the right amount of data in scale with the number of relevant records in your implementation and ensure environments and database parameters can handle the work load. Determine if any migration processes can be configured to process a limited number of instances and if the process can be run repeatedly to complete the migration.
  1. If you will use Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) security, complete the following tasks:
    1. Run the PopulateTerritoryForQuotes Quote activity to update all quotes with the appropriate territory.
      ABAC security requires control attributes to be maintained and exposed on each object in order to provide acceptable performance. Quotes require the appropriate TerritoryID assigned to each instance.
    2. Run the PopulateTerritoryAccInsNameForPolicies activity to apply the appropriate territory for each policy.
      ABAC security requires control attributes to be maintained and exposed on each object to provide acceptable performance. Internal and external policies require the appropriate TerritoryID assigned to each instance.
  2. If your application used a custom version of an activity that was deprecated in version 7.4, refactor the activity.

    The following table describes deprecated activities, and the refactoring information for each.

  3. If your application used a custom version of a quote section that was deprecated in version 7.4, convert to a new section.

    Two quote sections are deprecated and two new sections are added. The new sections conform to the Sales Automation for Insurance naming conventions. The sections are invoked when adding, reviewing, and editing an internal or external quote. Deprecated sections will be removed in a future release.
