Most of the work involved in upgrading from previous versions
of LiveCycle to AEM forms on JEE is done by Configuration Manager.
The tasks that are specific to upgrade are integrated seamlessly
into the configuration and deployment process.
Installing, configuring, and deploying AEM forms on JEE involves
the following processes:
Installing:
You install AEM forms on JEE by running the
installation program. Installing AEM forms on JEE places all the
required files onto your computer, within one installation directory
structure. The default installation directory is C:\Adobe\Adobe_Experience_Manager_forms
(Windows) or /adobe/adobe_experience_manager_forms (Linux or UNIX);
however, you can install the files to a different directory.
Configuring and assembling:
Configuring AEM forms on JEE
modifies a variety of settings that determine how AEM forms on JEE
works. Assembling the product places all the installed components
into several deployable EAR and JAR files according to your configuration
instructions. Configure and assemble the components for deployment
by running Configuration Manager.
Deploying:
Deploying
the product involves deploying the assembled EAR files and supporting
files to the application server on which you plan to run your AEM
forms on JEE. If you configured and assembled multiple modules,
the deployable components are packaged within the deployable EAR
files. Components and LiveCycle archive files (LCAs) are packaged
as JAR files. Configuration Manager automatically deploys the components
and archive files to the application server. You must manually deploy
the EAR files to JBoss.
Initializing the database:
Initializing
the database creates tables for use with User Management and other
components. Configuration Manager initializes the AEM forms on JEE
database after the EAR deployment process.
