[xwiki-users] How do I upgrade sub-Wikis to 2.4 in a XEM farm?
We upgraded our XEM farm today from 2.3 to 2.4. All upgraded were successful to the main wiki. I can see the new "Template", "Invitation", and "Search" in the Administer UI inside the main Wiki. But I don't see it in any of these inside the sub-xwiki in the farm. Is there a additional process to make it effect to the Wikis in the farm? Cheers, WEsley

The same way you upgraded the main wiki pages you also have to upgrade each wiki pages except that sub wiki generally based on XE xar instead of the XEM xar you used in the main wiki. The only difference between main wiki and other wikis is that the main wiki is well... the main wiki but technically all wikis are exactly the same thing.

Thomas, Thanks for you reply. Could you provide more details on how to upgrade each wiki? I have no idea how to update those in XEM. For the XEM, we installed the new 2.4 war file, and migrated over our 2.3.2 customized config changes. XEM then automatically migrated the database. But for the sub-wiki, how would I do the upgrade? Do I have to export current sub-wiki to a xar file, create a new sub-wiki in 2.4, then import again? Cheers, Wesley On 10-07-22 06:34 PM, Thomas Mortagne wrote:

I'm not talking about database schema or the war which is upgraded for all the wikis at once but the wiki pages, see http://manager.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Migration and http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation#HUpgradinga....
Cheers,

Thomas, Thanks for the links. I made the xar import excluding a few components. While there were these-and-that small fixes, but the migration looks a success. If it is possible, it would be really great if Xwiki team can provide a migration tool. The current import tool only provide yes or no choice. Would it better to enhance with detect and merge abilities that is similar to Ubuntu upgrade when config modifications are founds? The current migration process is still a cross-fingers type approach, while the easy of upgrade is crucial for mid-large corp. Thanks again :-). W On 10-07-23 02:02 AM, Thomas Mortagne wrote:

After upgraded to 2.4, there introduces "Invitation" application. I tried to disable every group and every user's the access to Invitation space, but all can still access it. Is there a way to disable this application completely? Thanks for help in advance. Cheers, Wesley
Yes the Invitation space already disables access to prevent users tinkering with the inner workings. Invitation.WebHome, Invitation.InvitationGuestActions, and Invitation.InvitationMemberActions override this. You could change these three documents permissions or you could just delete them. To prevent users from sending mail, all you need change is Invitation.WebHome. Caleb Wesley Huang wrote:

Sure and it's a work in progress as part of http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ExtensionManager.
Thanks again :-).
