Introducing the Adobe Enterprise Readiness Tool

The Adobe Enterprise Readiness Tool (ERT) examines the preparedness of your infrastructure to install or upgrade to Adobe® LiveCycle® Enterprise Suite 3 (ES3). Infrastructure signifies your target environment that includes the application server, operating system, JDK, database, and other supporting software required to install and run LiveCycle. ERT also checks for minimum hardware requirements such as RAM. ERT validates the version of all supporting software against Supported Platform Combinations for LiveCycle.

Important: ERT was introduced in the Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform (ADEP) 10.0 release. Therefore, the ERT download site as well the tool might contain ADEP terminologies. However, ERT works seamlessly with LiveCycle ES3, and shall give you the desired results.

ERT can also be run remotely to validate a target machine for installation or upgrade readiness. However, the target machine should be accessible to the ERT.

Installation Readiness
ERT allows you to validate a target environment for installation readiness. When installing LiveCycle afresh, it is necessary that pre-requisites, pertaining to the application server, database, and file system configurations, are met.
Note: Prior to running the ERT for installation readiness, install and configure your application server and database as outlined in Preparing to Install LiveCycle (Single Server) or Preparing to Configure LiveCycle (Server Cluster).

Upgrade Readiness
ERT allows you to validate a target environment for upgrade readiness. In order to execute a successful upgrade to LiveCycle, pre-requisities pertaining to your existing LiveCycle system should be met. ERT validates your existing LiveCycle system against these requirements and thereby measuring its preparedness for upgrade. When validating the target environment for upgrade readiness, ERT also detects the presence of unsupported runtime components and services.

Note: For a complete list of pre-upgrade verifications and post-upgrade validations, see Upgrade Checklist and Planning guide.
