Upgrading
to AEM forms on JEE involves the following major tasks, many of which
are automated when you use the turnkey method of installation and deployment:
-
Manually backing up the existing data.
-
Installing AEM forms on JEE product files including new versions
of the application server and database.
-
Configuring and deploying the EAR files.
-
Updating (patching) the services components that are part
of AEM forms on JEE.
-
Manually upgrade existing CRX repository.
The installation program and Configuration Manager together perform
most of the tasks. You are prompted for input throughout the process,
as described by the steps in this document.
Detailed outline of tasks performed in the turnkey upgrade process
If
you originally installed a previous version of LiveCycle using the
turnkey method, you can use the turnkey upgrade process to move
to AEM forms on JEE. The turnkey installation and upgrade process
performs the following tasks:
-
Installs the AEM forms
on JEE product files
-
Installs a preconfigured JBoss 6.2.0 application server (with
Apache Tomcat servlet container embedded)
-
Installs a preconfigured version of MySQL 5.5 database server.
-
Starts Configuration Manager
-
(Upgrading on the same machine running your existing LiveCycle instance)
Stops
the appropriate JBoss for Adobe LiveCycle service
-
(Upgrading on the same machine running your existing LiveCycle instance)
Migrates
contents of Global Document Storage (GDS) from the default location
of your previous instance of LiveCycle to AEM forms on JEE default
location.
Note:
: If you changed the GDS location
in the previous version of LiveCycle, you need to ensure that your
AEM forms on JEE GDS location should be the same. If not the same,
you must copy the contents of your previous GDS location manually
to the AEM forms on JEE GDS location.
-
Configures
and assembles the AEM forms on JEE EAR files
-
(Upgrading on the same machine running your existing LiveCycle instance)
Migrates
MySQL data from your previous instance of MySQL installed with LiveCycle
to the new instance of MySQL installed with AEM forms on JEE.
Important:
If your previous instance of LiveCycle and
your new installation of AEM forms on JEE are not on the same machine,
you must manually import MySQL data into the MySQL instance installed
by AEM forms on JEE installer and copy the relevant directories
onto the new computer you plan to use for AEM forms on JEE . See
this article
for detailed steps about
Migrating previous instance of LiveCycle MySQL Database to new instance
of AEM forms on JEE MySQL Database and backing up LiveCycle data.
-
Configures a new CRX repository. If you already have a CRX
repository for LiveCycle ES4 SP1, then you will have to be upgrade
repository to CRX 6.1 manually later.
-
Starts the JBoss for Adobe Experience Manager forms service.
-
Deploys AEM forms on JEE EAR Files to JBoss
-
Initializes the MySQL database
-
Performs migration of critical data, before deploying components
-
Deploys all the required components to JBoss
-
Updates (patches) the existing components, preserving previous
service configuration parameters, endpoints, watched folders, and
so on
-
Migrates essential data, including settings, and configuration
data to LiveCycle
-
Configures modules such as ECM Connectors (for example Connector
for EMC Documentum, Connector for IBM FileNet, Connector for IBM
Content Manager, or Connector for Microsoft SharePoint), PDF Generator,
and Acrobat Reader DC extensions.
