I have a wiki farm I want to upgrade to the curreent release.

I've searched the forum. I've read the applicable release notes.

I'm not able to find any info on whether migration is supported from a version 1.X to 2.X.

Can I move straight from 1.4 to 2.3 or do I need to apply some intermediate steps?

Yes, in fact the automatic migrator act step by step so that does not change anything except that doing only one migration takes a lot less time ;) As usual the issue you can have is mostly if you modified standard pages. There is also probably some important changes that could impact applications you would have wrote yourself: - the most important one is the new xwiki/2.0 syntax which is the default syntax now so when you create a page programmatically you have to take care of setting the proper syntax, note that you can change configuration to have xwiki/1.0 syntax by default until you did all needed migrations - you can now set a velocity variable to null, see http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise22 - there is also some changes in document references for them to support "technical" characters like '.' and ':' but if you don't use any of them that should not change anything for you All basic wiki pages should behave the same as in 1.4. And other things you should take a look at the release notes of each first stable version of each branch (1.5, 1.6, ...) since 1.4 and specifically to the section "Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes".

The one area that confuses me with Xwiki is the relationships between the wiki manager and the enterprise wiki.  I'm missing the big picture.  What dependencies exist between the enterprise version and the wiki manager?

XWiki Enterprise Manager is just a pre-configured XWiki Enterprise in multiwiki (virtual) mode and with some UI to create/delete wikis (it's really only UI, the real multiwiki support is in the platform). Since 2.0 the version is synchronized so XEM 2.x is exactly XE 2.x with some pages added as well as two wiki management UI related plugins.

Thanks for your reply Thomas.

I pulled the switch.

Everything with the update went fine except for one item. I wonder if you might know what is causing text to appear on the screen at the top when I log and and request a page. Here is what displays:

$xwiki.jsfx.use('js/scriptaculous/effects.js', true) $xwiki.jsfx.use('js/xwiki/widgets/modalPopup.js', true) $xwiki.ssfx.use('js/xwiki/widgets/modalPopup.css', true) $xwiki.jsfx.use('js/xwiki/widgets/jumpToPage.js', true) $xwiki.ssfx.use('js/xwiki/widgets/jumpToPage.css', true) $xwiki.jsfx.use('uicomponents/widgets/confirmationBox.js', true) $xwiki.ssfx.use('uicomponents/widgets/confirmationBox.css', true) $xwiki.jsfx.use('uicomponents/widgets/confirmedAjaxRequest.js', true) $xwiki.jsfx.use('uicomponents/widgets/notification.js', true) $xwiki.ssfx.use('uicomponents/widgets/notification.css', true)

You need to enable some new plugins in xwiki.cfg. You should compare the xwiki.cfg that comes with a standalone XE with the one you have and merge the two files.

I have a much better understanding of what I needed to do. I'm going to write up a procedure and forward it. Maybe I can save somebody some time.

I got the plugins straigthened out. The XE Manager was screwed up. I purged it and downloaded a fresh copy. I have it setup and ready to go. Now I'd like to know if it's possible to get the manager instance to recognize my 5 wiki instances that already exist and have content in them.
