Selecting the
product and
target systems
Before you begin:
Specify the application or product to migrate and the target systems.
Note: The source system and target system must be in the same major
Pega Platform version. For example, you cannot migrate if the
source is in PRPC 6.x and the target is Pega 7.x.
- Do one of the following:
-
To use an existing .zip file, select Use existing .zip file.
If you changed the product after you packaged the .zip file, the existing .zip file will
not include the changes.
-
To download an application or package without importing, select Download
only. For example, you can download an application as a backup or archive
copy.
- Select the target system. Do one of the following:
- Select an existing target system.
- Add a target.

What to do next: The source system creates the following items:

number[-patch number] >, for example, MyProd-Classgroup_01-01.zip or
MyProd-Classgroup_01-01-99.zip.
- Covered work item IDs for each target system. These IDs include the prefix
pzMigDest.
