Upgrading amp that works on 5.2 to 6.1 failing

memko — Sun, 08 Dec 2019 15:19:39 GMT

Hi, we have a custom amp that is working fine on 5.2.

Once we test this out on 6.1 we get following errors thrown:

Is there a specific guide that walks through what needs to be done to upgrade an amp to work with 6.1?

Re: Upgrading amp that works on 5.2 to 6.1 failing

kintu_barot — Fri, 10 Jan 2020 07:59:57 GMT

No, you can not directly upgrade the amps.

You need to change your existing SDK version with the latest version which is compatible with your targeted ACS version(6.1).

You need to compile your code again by migrating your code in SDK 4.0(it is compatible with ACS 6.0 and 6.1)

Just take a look at the following thread:

https://hub.alfresco.com/t5/alfresco-content-services-blog/announcing-alfresco-content-services-sdk-4-0-and-3-1/ba-p/288952

Yes, if you build your AMPs with Alfresco's SDK, you cannot directly upgrade them at all, must update the SDK and recompile.

BUT if you build your AMPs in a professionally set up, custom Maven project, you most definitely can unless you use some of the (very limited) APIs that have changed. I build my AMPs using a custom Maven setup and they are generally compatible with Alfresco 5.0 to 6.2, as long as they do not use jobs - and even for jobs I have something to bridge the incompatibility.

I would like to know the custom maven setup you have and the bridge that enables you to handle the incompatibility.

This could save us a lot of development efforts.

You might be interested in this DevCon 2019 hack-a-thon project:

https://github.com/jpotts/alfresco-sdk-upgrader

You can point it at an SDK 3.x project and it will restructure it to be an SDK 4.x project.

Once that's done you just add your custom dependencies back in to your pom.xml files (the script doesn't handle those) and you can compile and test using SDK 4.x.

The script doesn't point out any incompatabilities that might exist or anything like that, but at least it handles the SDK restructure for you.
