Upgrading
to LiveCycle involves the following major tasks, many of which are automated
when you use the turnkey method of installation and deployment:
Manually backing up the existing LiveCycle data.
Installing LiveCycle product files including new versions
of the application server and database.
Configuring and deploying the LiveCycle EAR files.
Updating (patching) the services components that are part
of LiveCycle.
The installation program and Configuration Manager together perform
most of the tasks. You are prompted for input throughout the process,
as described by the steps in this document.
Detailed outline of tasks performed in the turnkey upgrade processIf
you originally installed a previous version of LiveCycle using the
turnkey method, you can use the turnkey upgrade process to move
to LiveCycle ES4. The turnkey installation and upgrade process performs
the following tasks:
Installs the LiveCycle product
files
Installs a preconfigured JBoss 5.1 application server (with
Apache Tomcat servlet container embedded)
Installs a preconfigured version of MySQL 5.1.30 database
server.
Starts Configuration Manager
(Upgrading on the same machine running your existing LiveCycle instance) Stops
the appropriate JBoss for Adobe LiveCycle service
(Upgrading on the same machine running your existing LiveCycle instance) Migrates
contents of Global Document Storage (GDS) from the default location
of your previous instance of LiveCycle to LiveCycle ES4 default location.
Note: : If you changed the GDS location in the previous
version of LiveCycle, you need to ensure that your LiveCycle ES4
GDS location should be the same. If not the same, you must copy
the contents of your previous GDS location manually to the LiveCycle
ES4 GDS location.
Configures
and assembles the LiveCycle ES4 EAR files
(Upgrading on the same machine running your existing LiveCycle instance) Migrates
MySQL data from your previous instance of MySQL installed with LiveCycle
to the new instance of MySQL installed with LiveCycle ES4.
Important: If your previous instance of LiveCycle and
your new installation of LiveCycle ES4 are not on the same machine,
you must manually import MySQL data into the MySQL instance installed
by LiveCycle ES4 installer and copy the relevant directories onto
the new computer you plan to use for LiveCycle ES4. See this article for detailed steps about
Migrating previous instance of LiveCycle MySQL Database to new instance
of LiveCycle ES4 MySQL Database and backing up LiveCycle data.
Starts the JBoss for Adobe LiveCycle ES4 service.
Deploys LiveCycle EAR Files to JBoss
Initializes the MySQL database
Performs migration of critical data, before deploying components
Deploys all the required components to JBoss
Updates (patches) the existing components, preserving previous
service configuration parameters, endpoints, watched folders, and
so on
Migrates essential data, including settings, and configuration
data to LiveCycle
Configures modules such as ECM Connectors (for example Connector
for EMC Documentum, Connector for IBM FileNet, Connector for IBM
Content Manager, or Connector for Microsoft SharePoint), PDF Generator,
and Reader Extensions.
