Additional upgrade scripts for new columns
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.4
In Version 6.2, additional columns (Major, Minor, and Patch) containing ruleset Version information were added to 15 tables in the PRPC database. When upgrading from a pre-Pega 7 release, scripts must be manually run after the upgrade to populate these columns.
These scripts are located in the Resource Kit, under Additional Upgrade Scripts.
- If upgrading to a single schema, run both scripts.
- If upgrading to a split schema, run the _data script against the data schema and run the _rules script against the rules schema.
Choose the scripts for your database type:
- db2zos_rulesetversion_columns_data.sql
- db2zos_rulesetversion_columns_rules.sql
- mssql_rulesetversion_columns_data.sql
- mssql_rulesetversion_columns_rules.sql
- oracle_rulesetversion_columns_data.sql
- oracle_rulesetversion_columns_rules.sql
- postgres_rulesetversion_columns_data.sql
- postgres_rulesetversion_columns_rules.sql
- udb_rulesetversion_columns_data.sql
- udb_rulesetversion_columns_rules.sql
Split schema systems require additional privileges
