Updating from ColdFusion MX or ColdFusion MX 6.1 for J2EE

If you previously deployed ColdFusion MX for J2EE or the ColdFusion MX 6.1 J2EE configuration on your application server, you must also perform the following steps as part of the installation procedure:

  1. As appropriate for your application server, either stop the ColdFusion application and RDS application (if it is running), or stop the application server before you start the installation wizard.
  2. (Windows only) If you installed the SequelLink ODBC Agent, stop the ColdFusion MX or ColdFusion MX 6.1 ODBC services before you start the installation wizard.
  3. Copy application files to a backup directory.
  4. Save settings by copying the ColdFusion MX 6.1files cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/neo-*.xml to a backup directory
  5. Before you deploy ColdFusion MX 7, undeploy the existing ColdFusion MX or ColdFusion MX 6.1 application using your application-server-specific undeploy functionality.
  6. Create a directory named cf6settings in the cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib directory.
  7. Copy the backed up ColdFusion MX 6.1files settings files to the ColdFusion MX 7 cfusion/lib/cf6settings directory.
  8. Edit the ColdFusion MX 7 cfusion/lib/adminconfig.xml file by setting the value of the runmigrationwizard and the migratef6 switch to true.
  9. Restart the ColdFusion MX 7 application.
  10. Browse to ColdFusion MX Administrator to run the migration wizard.

Note: Migration from ColdFusion 4.5 or 5 to the ColdFusion MX J2EE configuration is not supported.
