Pega 8.1 Upgrade Estimation
Hi,
We are planning to do upgrade from Pega 7.22 to Pega 8.1. Could some one suggest how we should provide estimate? Shall I use sizing sheet or there is any OOTB tool. I tried pega estimation tool but it's not applicable for 8.1

As per SR-C70360, estimator tool does not support personal edition. I will try the same on Enterprise edition.

Hi,
These links does not include anything related to estimation. Also It seems upgrade estimator tool is not working for Pega 8.1. I was just wondering if there is any pega template for providing estimate for upgrade; just like we have pega sizing sheet.

Hi,
Any specific issue you are having with using the upgrade estimator tool?
If any error / exception, can you share the logs here.
Estimator tool can be downloaded and used from https://community1.pega.com/exchange/components/upgrade-estimator-tool

Hi AnandP,
Thanks for sharing the logs.
From the logs, i see that the estimator rulesets are not added into the application stack.
The application which is intended for estimation needs to have estimator in the ruleset stack.
You can include into the production rulesets at the access group level too, but ensure that the same is selected when performing the estimations or running the estimator.
The SOAP errors can be ignored, as it is related to a centralised system which would feed some additional information. This centralised system was not actively being used, so of-late it has been removed. So, the errors / exceptions related to SOAP would be observed, but can be ignored.

Hi Chaitrak,
Estimator ruleset was alreaydy added to the application (PFA the screenshot), otherwise I guess application & access group wouldn't have appreared in the dropdown on the portal.

Hi,
In the estimator we have the option to select the access group.
I am assuming even that is being selected appropriately, having the application and estimator rulesets in the context/stack.
Can you also share the complete logs, like from the time the estimator portal is launched?
Can you also try to ignore selecting the rulesets and continue with the estimation ?
We have a DSS which needs to be reset to start or repeat the estimation, you can filter the DSS with the ruleset name as estimator to find them.
I am assuming you are using it on 7.2.2 Pega, and the RAP imported is from the folder 7.1.7 and above from the estimator package.

Hi Chaitrak,
PFA the complete Pega Log. This log is from Pega 8.1 personal edition rather but I tried it on Pega 7.3 earlier as well and I faced similar issue.
I tried ignoring the ruleset but the main problem is that the estimate percentage is stuck at 0% even after 1 hour.
Also, I do not see any DSS under Estimator ruleset. I was checking this in 8.1.
Ton aswer your last question - yes, I used the same package but now I am wondering if estimator tool is valid at all for Pega 8.1?
