What is the difference between Pega inplace and out-of-place upgrade?

A Pega inplace upgrade is when your current version of Pega is upgraded within the same environment and codebase. An out-of-place upgrade is when you migrate from an earlier version of Pega to a newer version, but the upgrade occurs in a different environment than the original one. It may also involve a different codebase. In addition, an out-of-place upgrade may require manual data migration, while an inplace upgrade may not.

On-premises Pega upgrade

 The process of upgrading an existing on-premises Pega deployment generally consists of the following steps:

1. Preparing the Environment: Before starting the upgrade process, ensure that the environment is ready and any pre-requisite activities are met. 2. Backing Up Existing Data: As a good practice, it is important to take a backup of the existing Pega system, including the entire production and non-production databases, applications and files. 3. Performing the Upgrade: Download the latest version of the Pega software and install it in the existing environment. Update the schema for all the databases to bring it to the latest version.
