aem 6.4 upgrade steps
We are upgrading from aem 6.3 to aem 6.4
And performing in-place upgrade following these steps - Performing an In-Place Upgrade
I want to clarify on the steps to get this successful
- Stop the instance if it is running
- Download the new AEM6.4 jar file and use it to replace the old one outside the crx-quickstart folder.
- Unpack the new quickstart jar by running:
- java -jar AEM_6.4_author-p4504.jar –unpack
- java -server -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dsling.run.modes=author,crx3,crx3tar -jar cq-author-p4504.jar -c crx-quickstart -p 4504 -Dsling.properties=conf/sling.properties
- Start AEM either using start.bat or the jar
Few questions:
1. Are steps 4 and 5 required (both)?
2. As far as i understand step 5 should start AEM as well. - Am I right? So step 6 should not be needed.
3. Since upgrade works fine with just unpacking also with just step 4 and 6. What is the need for the step 5? For setting the run-modes alone?
Just wanted to make sure i understand the steps I am performing correctly.
