Summary


In this chapter, we covered details about the process of upgrading Alfresco. The Alfresco upgrade process is pretty straightforward; it is just matter of configuring the system. The first step of the upgrade will analyze the system and decide the final path of upgrade. Once the path is decided, set up the new server and validate and start the upgrade process with production data. Make sure Solr indexes are recalculated properly with the new Solr4 version in Alfresco 5.
