3.4.1 Configure the Connectors for ECM for an out-of-place upgrade

This task is required for an out-of-place upgrade if you are moving to a new computer or a new application server instance.

Note: If you are not upgrading on a new computer, skip to step 2.
  1. (Out-of-place upgrade to a new computer only) Install the client for your ECM repository on the LiveCycle server, that hosts the new application server.

  2. Perform all settings related to Connectors for ECM (except for Administration Console settings) on the new application server prior to beginning the upgrade. See 5.13 Configuring Connector for EMC Documentum, 5.15 Configuring the Connector for IBM FileNet, or 5.14 Configuring the Connector for IBM Content Manager as appropriate for your configuration.

  3. Navigate to the [appserver root]/profiles/[profile name] directory on your current LiveCycle server and copy the adobe-component-ext.properties file to the [appserver root]/profiles/[profile name] directory directory on the target server.

  4. Restart the application server.

Important: For LiveCycle ES Update 1 or LiveCycle ES2 - Connector for EMC Documentum or Connector for IBM FileNet, the default repository must be set to LiveCycle ES Update 1 or LiveCycle ES2 Native Repository Provider otherwise the upgrade deployment will fail. If you have configured the ECM repository provider as the default repository for either of these connectors, open the Administration Console and navigate to Services > LiveCycle [connector type] > Configuration Settings. Select the LiveCycle Repository Provider option and then click Save.

You can now continue to run Configuration Manager to upgrade to LiveCycle ES3. (See Next steps.)
