Scenario

Now with the TrainingCertificationSln complete, you can deploy the solution to the pilot group for further testing. The pilot group has a different installation path of the CRM application, requiring the solution to be adjusted so it will run successfully. Also, to meet business and project needs, specific project properties require configuration and updates before you can create the deployment package.

Your Assignment

In this part of the solution, complete the following tasks:

  • Create a pilot configuration project file for the CRMPrj and the MainPrj.
  • Update the CRMPrj configuration file to change the CRM.os path from Program Files (x86) to Program Files.
  • For this exercise, complete the following on the Project Properties Deployment tab for the MainPrj project.
    Property Value
    Deployment Version 1.0
    Include Assemblies True
    Include Run Settings False
    Increment Deployment Version True
    Create Deployment Package True
    Output Path bin\Pilot\
  • Create a local deployment package of the MainPrj solution and validate that the packages exist for the pilot and general use.

You must initiate your own Pega instance to complete this Challenge.

Initialization may take up to 5 minutes so please be patient.
