Hi, I would agree that the link you have sent for migrating to AEM 6.4 is fabulous. But I find that: 1. Information is not present or present, but not in a step by step fashion. URL https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/6-4/sites/deploying/using/upgrade.html# has an overview diagram. So, I was expecting to see info in the order (Upgrade Planning with all its sub sections like Plan Author Training, Create a test Plan, etc, Development & QA with all its sub sections, Pre-Upgrade Maintenance with all its sub sections, Upgrade Procedure with all its sub sections and Post Upgrade Checks with all its sub sections). I am losing track starting Development & QA. Please share URL for starting Development & QA, that takes me through the sub steps in it, preferably sequentially. 2. Does "Development & QA" mean the environments on cloud or the application code Development & QA? Kindly address my concerns. Thanks, Rama.

You say you would like to see a step by step illustration in the docs. However there is one in topic you pointed out.

To upgrade - follow order as specified in docs:

Hi,

The following diagram from the URL you have provided, highlights 5 different main tasks and their sub tasks for this migration.

Out of these, starting the second one (Development & QA), the URLs are not available.

a. Kindly provide URLs for the following ASAP: (I do not need them in the serial order also, as long as they are present.)

1. Development & QA with all its sub sections
2. Pre-Upgrade Maintenance with all its sub sections
3. Upgrade Procedure with all its sub sections
4. Post Upgrade Checks with all its sub sections

b. Does "Development & QA" mean the environments on cloud or the application code Development & QA?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Rama.
