Hi Bhaskar,

Here you have the documentation for doing the upgrade to 6.2:
https://www.liferay.com/es/documentation/liferay-portal/6.2/user-guide/-/ai/upgrading-liferay-liferay-portal-6-2-user-guide-18-en

Also, and as a EE, you will find more information in the customer portal.

Best regards.

https://www.liferay.com/es/documentation/liferay-portal/6.2/user-guide/-/ai/upgrading-liferay-liferay-portal-6-2-user-guide-18-en

I can even give you a very exhaustive idea on version migration. Note that this is the same link that Alberto posted above. If you have specific questions: Ask them. But that the most comprehensive documentation for upgrades that exist. And in System Administration Training we cover the principles with some experienced trainers.

Hi All ,
I am using maven project of Liferay 6.1.3 version . i need to update Liferay 6.2 version. I am running 6.2 liferay software.

I did the following steps:

Step-1: In the pom.xml , i changed the liferay version. 6.1.2.0 to 6.2
<properties>
<liferay.version>6.2</liferay.version>
<org.springframework-version>3.2.5.RELEASE</org.springframework-version>
</properties>


Is there any changes requires in .m2 repository for version update?

With that small snippet of a pom, I can't really tell you if this is all. Suggesting that you create a new trivial plugin with Liferay 6.2 using the libraries that you need. Then compare its pom.xml with the one you have and compare what versions of which library are referenced. Or some maven wizard might step in. I've been in the (very) comfortable position to not needing to worry about the build-tool-peculiarities.

i looked .m2, after changes in pom <liferay.version>6.1.20</liferay.version> to <liferay.version>6.2</liferay.version>

C:\Users\vndratosbk\.m2\repository\com\liferay\portal\portal-impl\6.1.20 its not updated 6.1.20 to 6.2

i am taking jar from nexus server . Al the jar is available with version 6.2.1.


Please provide me some approach .

You seem to be updating to 6.2.10, but state that the jars that are available are 6.2.1 - they should actually match your environment. 6.2.10 is EE, so you should download the required maven files from customer portal, install them locally and run with those.

it is successfully build. making changes of
<artifactId>liferay-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>6.2.1</version>

now i am tying to import lar on 6.2 it is not supported on 6.2 showing error message "LAR build number 6130 does not match portal build number 6210"
i am using HSQL database. Is it possible to import 6.1LAR on Liferay 6.2?

[Olaf Kock, módosítva 8 év-val korábban]

Bhaskar Kumar:

No. LAR is built to be im- and exported on exactly the same version. It might even fail with different minor upgrades - at least I wouldn't guarantee it to work - there might be a fixed import in a newer version. In general it probably works on the same major version, but there's no guarantee that I'm aware of spanning different patchlevels.

[Bhaskar Kumar, módosítva 8 év-val korábban]

It is very difficult to create new LAR once again for 6.2 project . Is there any different patch levels available to generate LAR on 6.1 to 6.2
Thanks.

[Olaf Kock, módosítva 8 év-val korábban]

Nope, sorry.
