Need help with using the CRX2OAK tool with my AEM Guides instances.
We have an instance of AEM 6.5.12. with Guides 4.6 UUID running on a server and we want another instance of the exact same thing on another server that we will use as our “development server.”
This is not an upgrade. We want the 2 instances to be identical.
On our new server I have installed the exact same AEM 6.5 with the same service pack and same 4.6 release guides.
All we need is the repository from the first instance. I cannot use package manager to do this because we must preserve the version history of all of our DITA topics.
From the documentation I’ve read it seems the best way to do this is with ther CRX2OAK tool.
I’m not experienced with migration and would appreciate any steps or advice you might have.
- First, is the CRX2OAK tool the best way to accomplish this?
- How do I get one repository to connect with another? Should the crx-quickstart folder from the target server be on the same server as our first AEM installation?
- If so, what is the best way to move the crx-quickstart file? Simple copy and paste?
- Once the migration is complete ,again, how do I get the repository folder back to the target server?
Any help here is appreciated!
