Overview

The Application Signature Tool is designed to accelerate the modernization of heritage Pega applications without disrupting their workflow or foundational design. It automates the first and most essential step in any modernization effort: understanding the existing application.

By extracting metadata from heritage Pega applications (7.1.5 and later) into a standardized format, the tool replaces months of manual discovery with a consistent, repeatable and scalable process. This discovery output can then be imported directly into Pega Blueprint™, where teams can reimagine and refine their application using AI-assisted design.

Modernization cycles are shrinking fast. Discovery must keep pace; think minutes, not months. Leaders act on evidence, not on months of manual discovery. The Application Signature Tool becomes a strategic accelerator; cutting down effort, reducing risk, and enabling them to fully leverage the latest Pega Platform innovations with ease.

Key Features

Automated Application Discovery
- Instantly extracts key metadata from heritage Pega applications.
  The tool scans your application and automatically collects core elements such as Case Types, Data Types, Personas giving you a complete and accurate essence of the existing application without manual effort. It evaluates runtime Case data to identify which artifacts are truly being used, ensuring that only meaningful, relevant artifacts are carried forward into the modern application.
- Minimizes manual analysis and drastically reduces discovery timelines.
  What once required weeks of SME interviews, documentation reviews, and hands-on exploration is now completed in minutes. By automating discovery and grounding it in real usage patterns, the tool removes inconsistencies, reduces risk, and eliminates the guesswork that often slows down modernization initiatives
Standardized Output (PEGASIGN File)
- Generates a standard .pegasign file with all the relevant information.
  The tool outputs a structured, portable file that captures all extracted metadata in a consistent format. This ensures every modernization effort begins with a reliable and uniform foundation.
- Designed for seamless ingestion into Pega Blueprint.
  The PEGASIGN file is optimized to go directly into Pega Blueprint without additional processing. This frictionless handoff allows teams to move from discovery to design instantly, accelerating the early phases of modernization and enabling smooth collaboration across technical and business stakeholders.
Visualize and Reimagine with Blueprint
- Convert raw metadata into a clear visual model of your application.
  When the PEGASIGN file is imported into Pega Blueprint, it instantly transforms your application’s structure into an intuitive, visual representation. Teams can clearly see Case Types, data relationships, personas, and workflow patterns—making the current state easy to understand at a glance.
- Reimagine your application with AI-assisted guidance.
  Blueprint empowers teams to redesign smarter. With visualization as the starting point, Blueprint offers AI-driven reimagine option to build a more efficient workflow following the given instructions, helping teams confidently shape a future-ready Blueprint.
Seamless creation of Modern Pega application
- Import your reimagined Blueprint directly into Pega Platform to generate a modern application.
  Once your future-state Blueprint is finalized, it can be imported into Pega Platform to create a new, Constellation-based application.
- Accelerates the build phase with platform-ready configurations.
  The import process sets up Case Types, Data objects, Personas, and design components aligned with modern Pega standards, enabling teams to focus on enhancing business logic and orchestrating the end-to-end experience. You can use your existing application as a built-on to reuse different business rules from that instead of recreating them.
