10. Redeploy all standard rule packages that have been previously deployed only to 8.1.2 (or earlier) Genesys Rules Engines. This step is not necessary for standard rule packages that have been deployed to 8.1.3 or later Genesys Rules Engines.	In release 8.1.3, the rules engine was updated from Drools 5.1 to 5.5. The rules engine (up to and including release 8.1.2) writes serialized objects to file. These serialized objects are no longer loadable due to the Drools upgrade. To avoid future upgrade issues, rules engines later than 8.1.3 will maintain the rules package in its DRL form.
