Completing post-update tasks

Updated on November 29, 2022

Prevent unexpected system behavior or data corruption by ensuring that your application settings and data are fully synchronized with the latest version of Pega Robot Manager.

The post-updating activities relate to:

  • associating robotic assignments to SLAs
  • updating records to reflect changes in database schema
  • purging redundant history tables

In Robot Manager 8.6.4, the queue processor automatically performs updating activities when updating from versions earlier than 8.6.1 to version 8.6.4, or from 8.6.2 to 8.6.4.

Note: The queue processor cannot automatically perform post-updating activities when updating from version 8.6.1 to 8.6.4. In this case, you must manually perform the activities, as described in step 3 below.

Note: After updating Pega Robot Manager, you must restart the server to execute the above upgrade tasks automatically. The restart is required in order to add the queue processor.
Before you begin:
  1. Restart your application server.
  2. If you are updating from earlier than 8.6.1 to 8.6.4, or from 8.6.2 to 8.6.4, check at any time whether your system is fully updated by reviewing the Application tasks landing page, as shown in the figure below.

    Reviewing post-update activities
    On the Application tasks landing page, you can review if the system is fully updated.

    For example, you can view the date and time when an activity was completed.

    Result: The Start button is inactive, which means that post-update tasks have been completed.
  3. If the Start button is still active (for example, if you are updating from 8.6.1 to 8.6.4), then carry out the following two tasks:
    1. If you are updating from a Robot Manager version earlier than 6, set the UpgradingFromPriorToRM6 when rule to true, as shown in the following example:
      Setting the UpgradingFromPriorToRM6 when rule
      You must set the UpgradingFromPriorToRM6 when rule to true.
    2. On the Application tasks landing page, click the Start button to run the upgrade tasks.
  4. Optional: If you exported any customized DSS instances from your previous installation, import the DSS instances into your new installation.
  5. Optional: To ensure that your Operator ID has the same level of access rights as before the update, inspect the associated access groups.
