Removal of OFF/CFF Framework in PRPC 6.2 version before Pega7.2.2 Upgrade
Hi,
We are planning to upgrade our application from PRPC 6.2 to 7.2.2. Would like to know whether it would be better to remove the framework or retain it. However we're not using the framework other than inheriting few CFF classes.
Please see the following queries:
In case of removal:
- After removal of OFF/CFF, Can we use PegaComm class structure in future or not
- Can we delete framework Rulesets before migration to 7.2.2 if decided to remove it
In case of retain:
- For retaining OFF/CFF Framework, Is there any straightforward approach for migration from Pega 6.2 to 7.2.2. I would see that there are many changes happened in the framework and renamed as well to Fulfillment Center for Communications.
- Does it require to upgrade OFF/CFF with latest Fulfillment Center for Communication framework or also Communications Industry Framework?
Any early response is much appreciated.

If you are not using this framework then I strongly recommend to perform the following steps.
- Remove the OFF/CFF from the application including class inheritance
- Test your application make sure the there are no dependencies
- Delete the OFF/CFF rule sets if not used (take a backup before you delete them) before upgrading
- In future if you require any of the Pega 7 Communication frameworks just import them and start using the Pega 7 functionality

Hello Devendra,
We have one more question, we are not using any of the functionality but we are using the pattern class inheritance. For example, PegaComm-FW-OF is Framework Level class but we have lot of class at our application layer which pattern inheriting this class. So what you suggest how can we handle this situation.
Thanks,

You have to remove the pattern inheritance also. Basically all your application classes should not use either Pattern or Direct inheritance from communication framework class. Then test the application once to make sure that your app is not depend on any of the communication classes at runtime.
