Hi Community!

 

I have some components created in classic UI, and now I plan to upgrade the system to touch UI. 

I will not use the migration tool and i'm wondering what is best process to rebuild those components, also recreate the templates.

Is there any code example showing the best practice to archieve that?

 

Prefer some help!

Thanks!

@zonghuiliu , The AEM modernization suite should be able to help you achieve that. 

Is there any constraint to use this feature from Adobe.

If there is , the only way out to develop a set of custom migration scripts but that would have the following disadvantages : 

  • Re-inventing the wheel obviously.
  • You may miss out on certain edge cases that the modernization suite is able to take care of.
