Migration by using the Distribution landing page

The Pega Platform provides several tools to archive rules, data instances, and work items into .zip files and move them from one Pega Platform system to another. This procedure does not alter or delete the source rules.

For example, you can move a product from a development Pega Platform system into a test Pega Platform system. The source and target systems might have different servers, operating systems, database vendors, web server software vendors, and so on. Information inside the .zip file consists entirely of XML documents in Unicode characters.
