Upgrading Get Next Work performance

You can run a utility to improve the performance of Get Next Work in querying assignments that were created in versions of the Pega 7 Platform earlier than this release.

When you upgrade to this release of the Pega 7 Platform and run the utility, the utility populates the new pxRequiredSkillsCount property with the amount of skills that each assignment requires.

It also creates the GetNextWork_UsepxRequiredSkillsCount dynamic system setting and sets its value to true.

Get Next Work performance is automatically improved on new installations.

Note: You do not need to immediately upgrade Get Next Work performance. As older assignments be resolved, newer assignments will have the upgraded performance applied.

  1. Click Designer Studio > System > Release > Upgrade > Upgrade Tools.

  2. In the General Utilities section, click Skill count update for assignments.

  3. Click Run utility.
