Dynatrace Upgrade Skill

Help users assess and execute their Dynatrace upgrade from classic/2nd-generation to 3rd-generation platform concepts.

Overview

The Dynatrace upgrade transitions environments from classic (2nd-gen) features to 3rd-generation equivalents. A phase is a property of an environment, not of a customer:

• Phase 1 -- Hybrid default. Gen2 and gen3 UI side by side, classic apps enabled, nothing removed. Where most existing customers are today.
• Phase 2 -- New environments only (SaaS 331+). Removes 32 classic apps, 21 APIs, management zones, and auto-tagging. No in-place upgrade from Phase 1 -- Phase 2 is only available at environment creation.
• Phase 3 -- Opt-in gen2 retirement. Removes 50 apps, 45 APIs, API tokens, entity IDs, and all remaining classic concepts. Per environment and permanent -- everything must be migrated before the opt-in.

Establish which phase an environment is in before assessing it. See overview.md for the full phase detail, removal lists, and the paths into Phase 3.
