PW weblinks contain the internal name of the server
PW weblinks contain the internal name of the server, and so will stop working when the server name is changed after an upgrade. eg: https://pwlink.bentley.com/link?ds=SERVERNAME~3ADATASOURCE&doc=5ba922cfd41045a48f7b47188722fab0&app=webview
We have previously used internal pw:// links where we could simply use DNS to redirect the old links to the new server, but this is not possible with weblinks.

To avoid this issue we have renamed the new server to the old name during the upgrade. This requires a reinstall of the DI server and the Indexing server during the upgrade, but does work.
