We currently have LiveCycle ES (v8.2 SP3)/JBOSS installed in our environment. We are looking to move to ES2.5 (v9.5) but dont know whether to upgrade the existing [ES --> ES2 + SP2] OR create a new instance of ES2 [+SP2] on our server?
Since all of our workbench processes are short lived and we do not use Rights management i've read we can do either.. Can anyone comment on why/which method is better and why?
Is a new install quicker?
Our production environment is clustered between ServerA and ServerB. Does the clustering of our prod env, change your answer?
Our intention for the prod upgrade is
Stop locators.
Stop ServerA. All transactions goto Server B.
Upgrade Server A.
Restart Server A and stop Server B. All transactions will goto Server A.
Upgrade Server B.
Restart locators.
Env will be clustered again..
