Re: [xwiki-users] Upgrade 0.9.840 version to Latest version.
Hi Vincent, Thanks for the reply and all the links. Yes as you *said *the current wiki is very very old. These are the links which i went through for the upgrade process. As depicted in the documentation(links), the Xwiki pages needs to be exported into a XRAR format to re-import them into the latest version. I would like to mention that the current version of our wiki(0.9.840) does not support the export option for XRAR format. Is professional help the only way to get our wiki upgraded to latest version? (not feasible approach) Please suggest if there are ways other than getting professional help. Thanks, Kashyap.

I would like to mention that the current version of our wiki(0.9.840) does not support the export option for XRAR format. I think xar import/export was added in 1.0, but you should be able to migrate from 0.9.840 to 1.0 then use xar format to reach targeted version. See also http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki10 and other release notes. Is professional help the only way to get our wiki upgraded to latest version? (not feasible approach) Please suggest if there are ways other than getting professional help. If I may bring my own experience, I wouldn't say that it's not feasible - I did it - but I did it over several years (well 9 in fact), usually having 1 year behind each major version stabilization. Feasible, but really not easy, given the gap ! ;-) It could easily be quite time consuming ... Whatever you decide, backuping your current database is an absolute must-do before any move ! (and checking that you can restore this backup is almost as important) Thanks, Kashyap.
