I have a scenario that involves updating a core component version and I am in need of guidance on the necessary steps. Additionally, I am interested in obtaining any available documentation to assist in this process.

As of now, I am using version AEM6.5 SP15, and the current core component version is 2.19.0.

Thanks,
Sai

Hi @sai1278 ,

The current release of the Core Components is 2.23.4 and is compatible with AEM as cloud service and AEM on-premise.
Below are the steps that you need to take care for upgrading core components:

1. Check the compatible core version with your AEM.
  Follow this for compatibility check: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-core-components/using/versions.html?lang=en

2. Upgrade your dependency in project pom file:

<dependency> <groupId>com.adobe.cq</groupId> <artifactId>core.wcm.components.core</artifactId> <version>2.23.4</version> </dependency>


3. Try to validate few components in your local first by opening browser dev tool console to see if you are getting any JS error.



Thanks
Tarun

@sai1278 : You will have to update the version in your POM file. Please lookout for "core.wcm.components" and see what is the current version and you can find the latest version from maven artifacts at https://mvnrepository.com/

      Hello @sai1278 

       

      Please refer to the compatibility matrix on https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-core-components/using/versions.html?lang=en

      With SP 15 you can max update to 2.22.12 of core components.

       

      • Please consider updating SP and components both
      • If you can't update SP, then following steps might be helpful:
        • Update dependencies in pom
        • Assure AEM also has the updated version.
        • Compare the sling:resourceSuperType of all components in your project.
        • Assure you the using the latest version of the parent component
          • In case a new version is available:
            • Compare the feature differences between 2 versions on the official documentation of the component.
            • Compare HTL, dialogs etc between 2 versions.
            • Validate all the new and app-specific features on the updated component

          I had added the details in previous reply. Please use 2.22.12, if you can't update SP.

           

          Steps: 

          • Update dependencies in pom
          • Assure AEM also has the updated version.
          • Compare the sling:resourceSuperType of all components in your project.
          • Assure you the using the latest version of the parent component
            • In case a new version is available:
              • Compare the feature differences between 2 versions on the official documentation of the component.
              • Compare HTL, dialogs etc between 2 versions.
              • Validate all the new and app-specific features on the updated component
