3.10 Upgrade: Processes with document form variables and digital signatures

If you are upgrading from a previous version of LiveCycle and changing your LiveCycle Server, you may disrupt any processes that use the document form variable or digital signatures. This is because these forms are rendered only once, setting the submit URL. Changing the server breaks the certificate.

Choose the solution that is most appropriate for your LiveCycle environment from the following solutions:

Solution 1: Complete all processes that use a form document variable before you upgrade or move to the remote server. Use this method if you maintain legacy LiveCycle servers after the upgrade. This approach also eliminates the need for throw-away work to be done to manage the redirection of the form submissions. This method is not practical if you have many outstanding processes.

Solution 2: If the server being upgraded is not being decommissioned, a reverse proxy approach is preferable. With this method, you maintain the reverse proxy on the old system until all the migrated processes are completed.

Solution 3: You can use the Apache mod_rewrite module to modify the embedded URLs in each form as they are delivered to the client.
