Upgrading to AEM 6.3

[anelem1760873]

Hi there,

Am planning to upgrade our AEM version from 6.1 to 6.3, do you have any checklist/steps on how we do the migration of our sites from 6.1 to 6.3 like what needs to be tested.

Thanks

Hi:

Planning Your Upgrade​ is a guide focusing on upgrading from 6.1 to 6.3, and also covers the migration to the Oak based repository. It also includes a list of testing areas once the upgrade is complete.

I hope this helps you.

Some of the common issues to review first:

• Platform customization
• Migration API Deprecated
• Dialog Migration, classic to touch ui using migration tools + certain customizations for all custom components.
• Ensure Content Structure is maintained otherwise we should consider the creation roll out tasks to avoid issues with existing content/data
• Solution Migration
