Are there plans to publish Pega8 Upgrade Accelerator Pack ?

Our clients still have applications running with PRPC 6.1/6.2/6.3

They are planning to upgrade directly to PRPC 8.1.3 soon by skipping Pega7 altogether

Hence... are there plans to publish Pega8 Upgrade Accelerator Pack ?

Relevant Pega exchange component is outdated...

Please follow below link for Pega platform 8.1 upgrade guide. You have choices to select the application server and database. 

https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/products/platform

In the upgrade guide, there are special sections for "upgrading from PRPC 6.1 sp2 and earlier" and etc. 

I am not aware of that there is Pega 8 Upgrade Accelerator Pack.

We are glad about certain improvements in PEGA 8.X.X such as ...

Yet upgrade landing page in 8.1.3 DEV STUDIO has not changed much compared to 7.3.0 DESIGNER STUDIO

Many legacy features have been deprecated between 7.1.X - 8.X.X and we could not mention all of them here. Yet our clients are under the impression that an upgrade from 6.X SPx to 8.X.X will take the same amount of effort as an upgrade to 7.3.X

We mostly did tolerance level upgrades till 2017 + Upgrade Accelerator Pack helped us till 7.3.X

In 2019 we have several challenges...

We mostly did tolerance level upgrades till 2017 + Upgrade Accelerator Pack helped us till 7.3.X

In 2019 we have several challenges...

  • Both Tolerance Level upgrade and Compliance Level One upgrade are irrelevant (Technically Not Feasible for a 6 to 8 hop)
  • Half the folks engaged in an upgrade project have never logged into a PEGA6 portal (let alone PEGA5)
  • Pega8 Upgrade Accelerator is not available
  • How would we convert every legacy reporting rule to report definitions ?
  • How would we convert every legacy layout to dynamic layouts ?
  • Post layout conversions... how would we apply the skin formats to every layout and UI control ?

Kindly verify and address our concerns.

Hi All, we are planning an upgrade for our client, from Pega 7.3 to 8.3, and I am browsing through accelerator packs, If I understood correctly, this accelerator pack is only useful for Pega 6.x to---> 7.x Or 8.x Versions. This is not useful for 7.x to 8.x, is that right, please let me know.  

Thanks, Harsha K
