Automated Migration from Query Rule to a!queryEntity Expression Rule

Is there any tooling that will convert Query Rules to a!queryEntity Expression Rules?  We are going to upgrade from 18.1 to 19.2 soon and we have a couple hundred Query Rules.

  • I would not worry about your Query Rules being unusable, as Appian support will provide ample notice before any removals happen. Notice for example that the application portal is still supported even though it is recommended to use Tempo / Sites: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/latest/portal-support-notice.html

    I would focus your efforts for conversion on rules that would have a performance impact. Since a!queryEntity() allows you to query a subset of columns and has more options for filtering / paging, you can often see performance improvements from using Querey Entity with a more focused query. However, a full conversion of all query rules to a!queryEntity() is probably not necessary.
