Are there specific documents to run an in place upgrade from AEM 6.1 SP1 to 6.2? I did not have success when trying to unpack AEM 6.2 quickstart over the 6.1 crx-quickstart directory. Please advise.

Thank you

Hi,

Hope this information here [1] would help

If not can you provide the steps you are following and the issue you are facing ?

No you dont have to upgrade to SP2.

I followed the below steps and it worked for me without any issues.

1. Go to 6.1 folder and copy the 6.2 jar file

2. stop the 6.1 instance and double click on 6.2 jar

3. it started successfully with 6.2 version and prodinfo is shown properly as 6.2

Make sure you have the right version jar.

I've attached another screenshot of me starting the AEM_6.2_Quickstart.jar but when I check the version it still shows 6.1 SP1. Will I need to perform a clean install and migrate all the content manually?

Thanks

I understand this is pretty old thread, but still answering.

Problem could be your startup script. If you are using the default AEM provider startup scripts like start.sh, then it refers to jar provided under /crx-quickstart/app/cq-quickstart-6.2.0-standalone-quickstart.jar to start AEM and not the actual jar through which you extract/install the AEM repo the first time.

Try to replace the jar under apps with the one from 6.2 and see if it works.

Thanks I was able to get this upgraded by running the current AEM_6.1_Quickstart.jar. Which populated the quickstart.properties file. After that I just ran the AEM_6.2_Quickstart.jar.

 

Before starting the preparation steps, make sure you run the source instance first by executing it with the java -jar aem-quickstart.jar command. This is required in order to make sure that the quickstart.properties file is generated properly. If it is missing, the upgrade will not work.

Alternatively, you can check whether the file is present by looking under crx-quickstart/conf in the installation folder of the source instance.
