Just found this link: http://www.alfresco.com/about/events/2012/06/ttlrecordsmgmt/

Does this mean that RM 2.0 is going to be released in the next month?

@jenniferh Wow… how did you find this link? It looks like we can expect a release very shortly.
I hope it will be available under the Community Version, some people doubt this is going to be an Enterprise module only?

I'm sorry to dash your hopes for a big announcement during the Tech Talk Live, but Records Mangament 2.0 is not going to be released in time for that talk. We were hoping it would be ready, but our testing and fixing has taken longer than we expected.

The improvements have us very excited. We still hope for a release within a few months, but we won't release anything until we are confident it will be reliable and scalable.

Last I heard, we expect the release to be in both the Enterprise and Community Editions of Alfresco.

If you are waiting your options are:
* Use 3.4 with the RM module. We will be testing the upgrade path.
* Use 4.0 and wait to adopt RM functionality until it is ready. We test installation into an existing repository to address problems.
* Use 4.0 and customize it for the types of RM functionality you need. When the official module is released you can evaluate migrating or continue maintaining your customizations.

Which path is best depends on the details of your circumstances.

I still hope you join us for the Tech Talk Live. We will cover the details of what is part of RM 2.0 and there should be time for question and answer.

No problem, I'm glad to hear it's on its way.

I heard at the last DevCon that the new module would not support Solr search.
Anything new on that matter?

Thanks a bunch!

Quite right.

As I understand it rm needs the in transaction searches.

Due to a scheduling conflict, the Tech Talk Live has been postponed a week. We will now be having it on June 13 at 8am PT / 11am ET/ 4pm UK/ 5pm CET.

That will be an excellent opportunity for us to answer the many great questions in this thread.

Any updates on this? Is the alfresco 4.0 ready with rm?

And is there any migration guide from 3.4d -> 4.0?

Thanks.

chuawenching, migration from 3.4d to 4.0 working very well !

I have just migrate my 3.4d to 4.0 (keeping mysql database).

This is the way :

1. I'm running Windows 2008 with MySQL. My 3.4 installation rested in "Alfresco" folder, and used "alfresco" database.
2. I shut down old alfresco service and made backups of whole Alfresco folder and (more important in my case) exported current 'alfresco' database.
3. I created a new database (scheme) in mysql: alfresco4 and granted appropriate (mysql) user permissions.
4. I installed Alfresco 4.0.d from setup wizard, into a different folder on disk ("Alfresco4" instead of previous "Alfresco").
a) I selected not to install pgsql.
b) for DB Driver, I entered "org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"; for DB URL, I entered "jdbc:mysql://localhost/alfresco4".
5. I copied "mysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar" file from old installation to new installation.
Path: [alfresco folder]\tomcat\lib\
6. I verified that the service starts and that I could log in with default username "admin" and password. It worked. I stopped the service.
7. I deleted the alfresco4 database and created it anew.
(Or, you could just delete all the individual tables therein… but may encounter some dependency issues.)
8. I imported the database backup (dump) from (2) above into "alfresco4" database.
9. I (after making a backup copy) merged old "alf_data" folder into newly created "alf_data" folder (in "Alfresco4").
10. I started the service and tried to access Alfresco Share and Explorer on their usual addresses. Apparently, engine run all the necessary upgrade tasks. Things seem to work!
11. I switched from "solr" to "lucene" indexing engine. Search now works.
index.subsystem.name=lucene

Thanks for the kind response

But I am using Ubuntu 10.04 64 bits, i wonder it works with your way. Hmm..

so record management is already in 4.0? confirmed?
