Hello!
I have 2 questions regarding the AEM 6.5 service pack upgrade -
1. Is there a good checklist I can borrow?
2. Has anyone used Pattern detector for service pack upgrades?
TIA
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @KJ_AEM_Dev!
While Service Pack installations should be quite straight forward, there is some general advice to keep in mind:
Regarding your second question, AEMs Pattern Detector can help because it helps you to identify deprecated or discouraged patterns in your code base. It is commonly used during upgrades of mayor versions (e. g. migrating from AEM 6.4 to 6.5) but may help you for SP upgrades and the quality of your code base in general. If you want to go one step further and prepare for a potential future upgrade to AEM as a Cloud Service, you may also want to have a look at AEMs Best Practices Analyzer, that is built on top of Pattern Detector. That being said, neither Pattern Detector nor BPA are mandatory to use in the context of a SP installation.
Hope that helps!
Hi @KJ_AEM_Dev ,
To answer your both question,
1. For service pack release notes will be the best source to understand the changes involved.
You can find the latest service pack details and previous one's in below link.
2. Pattern detector main purpose is to find the detection rate when we are upgrading between the versions. Since the service pack will be installed on the same version , pattern detector will not be needed
