You can migrate Rules and data between instances of Pega Platform™ by using interactive tools in Pega Infinity Studio or by using command-line tools. You can develop Rules on one system and deploy them on other systems. As a best practice, use Deployment Manager to promote applications.
Check this list of available tools and supported operations to choose the appropriate tool
for your
purpose.
NOTE: The Product Migration wizard and product migration command-line tool
are deprecated. Pega recommends using Deployment Manager to move an
application between systems. For more information, see Best practices for application configuration. You can also use the prpcServiceUtils
tool. For more information, see Distributing an application from command line.
