SaaS Upgrade Assistant
Latest Dynatrace
The SaaS Upgrade Assistant is a Dynatrace app that imports your Dynatrace Managed environment configuration. It enables Dynatrace Managed cluster administrators to navigate through a frictionless upgrade from their Dynatrace Managed on-premises deployment to the SaaS deployment model. A cluster administrator can import the configuration to the target SaaS environment and update it to align with SaaS environment requirements. The app ensures a faster migration and minimizes disruption to Dynatrace users by incorrect environment configuration. Automation eliminates time-consuming manual tasks, such as updating dashboard ownership or adjusting entity IDs that have changed between environments.

What versions is the SaaS Upgrade Assistant compatible with?
We recommend working on a configuration exported from the same major version of the Dynatrace Managed cluster and SaaS environment to avoid unnecessary false-positive failed configuration migrations. For example, your Dynatrace Managed cluster should be in version 1.284.123, and your SaaS environment should be in 1.284.89.
