You can upgrade processes that use LiveCycle 7.x Quick
Process Action Components (QPACs). When you upgrade a process, a
copy of the process is created in which actions that are based on
QPACs are replaced with equivalent LiveCycle ES operations.
Important:
LiveCycle ES2.5 is the last release to
support QPACs. To ensure future compatibility, processes using QPACs
must be upgraded using the Process Upgrade Tool that is available
in Workbench 9.
Note:
Upgrades use operations that were equivalent
in LiveCycle ES. Those operations can be deprecated in LiveCycle
ES2.5.
Before upgrading processes, you must have already upgraded your
LiveCycle 7.x environment using LiveCycle Configuration Manager.
After upgrading the environment, LiveCycle 7.x workflows, QPAC components,
and run-time data are persisted in the LiveCycle ES2.5 database:
-
Workflows (processes) are organized on the Processes
view in the categories they belonged to in the LiveCycle 7.x environment.
-
QPAC components are organized on the 7x Components view in
the categories they belonged to in the LiveCycle 7.x environment.
For information about using LiveCycle Configuration Manager,
see the
Installing and Deploying
document for your application
server, available at
http://adobe.com/go/learn_lc_documentation_9
.
Note:
Process upgrading should be performed within
the development environment. Ensure upgraded processes are fully
tested before deploying them to a production environment.
Important:
After upgrading your LiveCycle 7.x environment,
which includes an instance of LiveCycle Form Manager 7.x, to LiveCycle
ES using LiveCycle Configuration Manager, a file named categories.xml
in the FormManager folder appears in the Resources view of LiveCycle
Workbench ES. The categories.xml file contains information about
the form categories that were persisted from the LiveCycle Form Manager
7.x installation. Users who are assigned the rolesof Super Administrator, Process
Administrator, and Resource Administrator can see the file. Because
the categories.xml file reveals information about form categories,
you should limit the ability to see this file to users who are assigned
the Super Administrator role. To prevent Process Administrator and
Resource Administrator users from seeing the file, add access permissions
to the file by using the Resources view after the upgrade is performed.
(See
Setting access permissions
.)
