Use product rules to migrate or deliver an application to another Pega Platform systems. Product rules identify the rulesets and versions, rules and data objects, and other parts of an application. Define a product rule to specify what to include in the archive. Then use one of the other tools to create the product rule.

• About product rules

  Use the Application Packaging wizard to package an application in a product rule for export to a .zip file or migration to another server.

• Creating a product rule that does not include associated data by using the Application Packaging wizard

  If your archive does not include associated data, use the Application Packaging wizard to identify data-admin instances associated with your application and create a product rule to define your application. This is most common for customers who have upgraded from PRPC 6 or earlier.

• Creating a product rule of test case data by using the Package Work wizard

  To migrate small amounts of case data, use the Package Work wizard to create a product rule that contains case data generated when the application executes. This case data can include work items, assignments, history, bugs, documents, and attachments. After you create the product rule, you can transfer the application to multiple systems.

• Creating a product rule that includes associated data by using the Create menu

  To include associated data in your product rule, use the Create menu to individually specify the contents of a product rule for an application or for work. When you use the Create menu, you can specify one or more applications, one or more rulesets, or individual rule instances to include in the product rule.

• Editing a product rule

  Customize the product rule to specify contents, dependencies, deployment options, and history entries.

• Previewing and creating the archive file for a product rule

  After you configure and save your product rule, preview the contents of the archive and generate the archive file.
