Pega Platform Change causing data wipe-out
Hi All,
We have been using Pega Labs on Pega Platform 8.3 to build a POC. We have installed Pega Marketing 8.2 and Pega Customer Service application 8.2 and customized to our needs. We have been facing issues on the Marketing Platform and I was asked by the Pega Labs support team to refresh our instance to 8.2.1-GA and then installing the CRM Strategic App though the self-service portal to ensure that we are on a stable and certified release of both the platform and strategic app. After this has been done, it wiped out all the data from our application. Did anybody face a similar issue, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please find the attached screenshot for reference.
Thanks,
Sid

You are trying to 'upgrade' from 8.3 M4 to 8.2.1GA? This is definitely not supported. If you are doing POC, simply install a new 8.2.1GA and install CRM/Pega Maketing on top of it. I am puzzled that why you are running 'upgrade'.

Performing a Refresh on PegaLabs means wiping out the current installation and starting with a clean install of Pega Platform. This would indeed remove your existing rules/data. You should have taken a export of your rules/data before going ahead. If you have any taken any DB backup or snapshot then try restoring to that version and take an export. Else I am afraid you will need to start all over again.
