Hi,
Just a simple question: can I safely upgrade XWiki from a 2.2.x version to a 2.5.x (or
newer) release, without upgrading step by step (e.g. go to 2.3.x ... , then 2.4.x ...
2.5)?
Following this document...
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation#HUpgrading…
It must be safe to do what you are planning to do provided you review
those additional operations and are particularly "observant" with the
WARNINGS on that file. As you can read...
Sorry, but that didn't answered (nor the related page) if it safe to
jump from version 2.2.x directly to last 2.5 version
Arnaud.
I've not tried myself any upgrade in the 2.y series. I did that in the
1.y one. I found some migration issues solved with the help of the dev
community. By reading this document, I can only conclude that it is
possible and safe to do that. But I've no experience with this exact
process.
I'm currently involved in a 1.y to 2.y migration. Different main
releases, different databases releases, different servlet applications
releases, different servers. In this case, a lot of problems mainly
related with attachments have been found.
In addition to the concerned AdminGuide section, I would recommend to
check the health of the attachments database by using...
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Snippets/AllBrokenAttachments
... prior the update.
I've not checked the release notes from 2.2.x. to 2.5 releases myself.
That's all I can say. Thanks.
"Note that the database schema is
automatically upgraded when needed.
All you need to do is to ensure your xwiki.cfg file is correctly
configured to perform the migration."
And, of course, backup your database and /xwiki application folder
before proceeding!
Hope this helps!
