Migrating Pega Product Composer for Healthcare entities from 7.13 to 7.21
To upgrade from Pega Product Composer for Healthcare 7.13 to 7.21, you run an upgrade utility as specified in the Pega Product Composer for Healthcare Upgrade Guide 7.13 found on the Pega Product Composer for Healthcare product page.
If you encounter issues, refer to these details about the upgrade utility and the activities that are involved in the upgrade.
Prerequisites
Before you upgrade the application, make sure that you follow these guidelines.
- In your Pega Product Composer for Healthcare application, make sure that all entities have a Pending-approval status and are saved in the database. Search for the entities that are not saved in the database. Run the flows and save them.
- Because all parameters that are related to this upgrade have been initialized in the PegaPCS-HC-USA-Work IntializeUpgradeParameters data transform rule, you need to modify the initialized values for any custom status or stages.
Running the upgrade utility
The upgrade utility consists of several activities that modify the characteristics of the migrated Pega Product Composer for Healthcare objects to the 7.21 stage-based environment so that the objects can operate seamlessly in the 7.21 environment.
- In Designer Studio, search for the UpgradeWrapperFor713-721 activity in the PegaPCS-HC-USA-Work class.
- Click to open the Run Activity: UpgradeWrapperFor713-721 page.
- Determine the mode in which you are running the utility:
- To run the utility in batch mode, select the BatchProcessing check box.
The utility runs asynchronously in a child requestor as a batch process and logs execution pattern and errors. All instances of all the entities are upgraded, based on a predefined order. - To run the utility in interactive mode, clear the BatchProcessing check box.
- To run the utility in batch mode, select the BatchProcessing check box.
- To change the default number of instances that you can upgrade for an entity, in the MaxRecordstoProcess field, enter a value. You can modify this number to a maximum of 10,000.
- If you are running the upgrade utility in batch mode, check the box for the entity that you are upgrading and click Run. Perform this step for each entity that you upgrade.
- If you are running the upgrade utility in interactive mode, upgrade the entities by using the sequence that is shown in this table. Upgrade all instances of all the prerequisite entities for a given entity before upgrading the entity. Failure to follow this order can cause inconsistent system behavior.
For example, before you upgrade a benefit set, you must successfully upgrade all the benefits, groupers, and networks entities. Similarly, before you upgrade a grouper, you must first successfully upgrade all the benefits in the system.
| Benefit | Grouper | Network | Benefit set | Policy term | Policy | Product template | Product | Plan | Plan bundle | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Benefit | ||||||||||
| Grouper | Y | |||||||||
| Network | ||||||||||
| Benefit set | Y | Y | Y | |||||||
| Policy term | Y | |||||||||
| Policy | Y | Y | ||||||||
| Product template | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | ||||
| Product | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | |||
| Plan | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | ||
| Plan bundle | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y |
You can view all the information, including successful instances and errors encountered in the log. Should you experience any failures, refer to the table of activities in the next section.
Pega Product Composer for Healthcare utility activities
The Pega Product Composer for Healthcare upgrade utility uses a set of activities where each activity is designed for a specific purpose.

The SaveNewRulePage is circumstanced with the property, .IsUpgrade=true. This activity is specific to the upgrade process and should not be used while running the normal flow execution. The IsUpgrade property is set to true in the UpgradeRejectionInstance activity and set to false while commiting the work instance.
The steps 15,16,17 and 19 are commented out in the SaveNewRulePage activity because there is no need to execute these steps while creating the rule instances for upgraded rejected entities.
Creating and using the IsUpgrade property is reserved for PCS upgrades.
