The Central Migration Bridge service helps you to migrate existing
applications from your Adobe Central Pro Output Server or Adobe
Web Output Pak products to work with the Output service. The Central
Migration Bridge service allows you to use your current IFD/MDF
templates, data transformation scripts, and DAT files in a LiveCycle
environment as part of an overall migration strategy.
Note: The Central Migration Bridge is useful only
if you have existing Central Pro applications to migrate.
Authorized use of Central Migration Bridge
To use the Central Migration
Bridge service, you must have a valid license for Central Pro Output
Server 5.7 or an executed Central Pro Output Server 5.7 migration
agreement. To install Central Pro Output Server 5.7, use your existing media
and existing product authorization code (PAC). Your PAC is for a
specific operating system platform; if this differs from the operating
system platform on which you are installing LiveCycle, you will
need to acquire a PAC for that operating system. Contact your Adobe
representative for more information regarding migration, or acquiring
Central Pro Output Server 5.7 media or PAC.
Installation considerations
The Central Migration Bridge service interacts
directly with the Central Pro (version 5.7) executable files. You
must have Central Pro installed on the same server as LiveCycle,
but it is not a prerequisite to installing LiveCycle (that is, it
can be installed before or after LiveCycle). Consult the Central
Pro documentation set for installation instructions.
Important: Do not start Central Pro or change its properties
to run automatically.
On Windows, the Central Pro service Adobe Central Output Server is
installed as a manual service. Do not run the service or change
its properties to run automatically.
On AIX, Linux, or Solaris,
do not start the Central Pro daemon jfdaemon. If you edited
the start-up script of your computer to launch jfdaemon when restarting the
computer, change the script to prevent the daemon from being launched automatically.
(See the Central Pro installation documentation.) Do not start Central
from the command line by launching the jfserver process.
Note: The LiveCycle User that invokes the Central Migration
Bridge service must have access rights to the Central Pro install
directory as well as execute permissions on the Central Pro executable
files.
LiveCycle turnkey installations
If you are installing and configuring
a LiveCycle turnkey environment using Express mode, the Central
Migration Bridge service will be installed and configured by default
- you will not be prompted for any input.
Note: Ensure
that the Adobe Central Pro product is installed in the default directory.
LiveCycle custom installations
If you are installing and configuring
LiveCycle using the Custom mode (Partial turnkey or Manual), Configuration
Manager will prompt you to include Central Migration Bridge in the
deployment.
By default, the service will use the default Central
Pro installation path. If Central Pro is installed in a different
location, update the [Central Install Dir] configuration for the
Central Migration Bridge Service by going to Administration Console.
Note: In
a clustered environment, you must install Central Pro on each node
of the cluster.
When you have finished installing LiveCycle,
if Central Pro is not installed in the default location, do the
following steps to point LiveCycle to the correct directory:
Log in to Administration Console.
Click Services > Applications and Services > Service Management.
Click the Central Migration Bridge:1.0 service.
Type the correct path to the Central Pro install directory.
Click Save.
