Completing the prerequisite tasks
Complete the following prerequisites before you install the application.
When completing the prerequisites, back up your system after key milestones to ensure that you can revert to the last working version of the system if you encounter an issue. For instructions, see Backing up your system.
- Before starting an installation, and before
backing up your system, review the database policies and application permissions that
are used by your Pega Platform
installation. Determine
whether the application is permitted to update the database automatically or if you must
generate the database scripts that your organization will use to manually make schema
changes.
To automatically update the application schema, your access group must have the SchemaImport privilege and the dynamic system setting database/AutoDBSchemaChanges must be set to true. Otherwise, you can create a DDL file to apply the schema changes manually.
