An upgrade project is required when
upgrading from Adobe LiveCycle ES4 SP1 to Adobe Experience Manager
(AEM) forms on JEE. Besides protecting the investment you made in
developing forms, processes, and applications, upgrading to AEM
forms on JEE allows you to take advantage of several new features.
Upgrade limits changes only to the middle tier of your enterprise
infrastructure. This minimizes the disruption to your enterprise
infrastructure and other custom applications. For more information,
see
Supporting software infrastructure compatibilities
.
Upgrade project involves tasks ranging from initially surveying
your existing LiveCycle ES4 SP1 environment to finally validating
the upgraded environment. The tasks should be carried out by personnel
with specific skill sets as described in the
Required Skill Sets
.
After upgrading to AEM forms on JEE, you must carry out verification
and user-acceptance tests, to ensure that forms, processes, and
applications continue to run and perform as expected. Upgrading
to AEM forms on JEE is designed to provide an automated experience
with minimal manual tasks.
