Upgrading from LiveCycle ES4 SP1 to AEM
forms on JEE involves installing AEM forms on JEE software that
is subsequently configured using settings from the existing LiveCycle
server. Configuration settings, user data, and job information are
migrated to the AEM forms on JEE system.
Most of the tasks in the upgrade process are automated and performed
(with some user input) by Configuration Manager.
Configuration Manager
is
a tool used to configure, deploy, and validate AEM forms on JEE
components for deployment to the application server. When run in
upgrade mode, Configuration Manager also performs upgrade specific
tasks such as updating configuration settings and data.
The GDS directory and database must be accessible to Configuration
Manager during the upgrade process.
You can continue to use your existing database if it is a version
that is compatible with AEM forms on JEE. If your current database
version is no longer supported, back up the data and restore it
to a compatible version.
If you are not changing major application server version and
are performing an in-place upgrade, your existing application server
must be running to deploy the new EAR files. For all other upgrades,
the old application server does not need to run during the process.

3.3.1 Upgrading to AEM forms on JEE using Configuration Manager
Upgrading to AEM forms on JEE modules from LiveCycle ES4
SP1 involves these tasks:
-
Installing AEM forms on JEE product files.
-
Running Configuration Manager to initiate the configuration,
upgrading, and deployment process. The remaining steps (below) are
included in this process.
-
Updating and deploying AEM forms on JEE EAR files to the
application server.
Note:
For an in-place upgrade,
you must manually undeploy the existing LiveCycle EAR files from
the application server.
-
Starting AEM forms on JEE on the application server, so that
it is available to accept user requests. This is done automatically
after the EAR files are deployed. However, you must start the server
manually if it does not start automatically.
-
Initializing the AEM forms on JEE database so that AEM forms
on JEE specific schema changes are incorporated in the database
without affecting the existing data.
Note:
This
step is mandatory and must not be skipped during an upgrade. It
does not affect existing data in any way.
-
Patching existing AEM forms on JEE components with new versions
and deploying new AEM forms on JEE components, if any.
-
Migrating to the database, essential data, as well as all
remaining data, such as audit records that are submitted or historical
data that are associated with Process Management.
