Hi Markus, >>>>>> we plan to migrate from ManifoldCF 1.7.1 to ManifoldCF 2.3.
Is there a migration guide available? >>>>>> There's no automatic upgrade here not simply because of schema changes but because in many cases duplicate functionality was removed from various connectors. That means that your jobs and connections would, in most cases, need to be recreated anyway. Even export and import could not be made automatic for this reason. There was an extended period, however, when MCF 1.x and 2.x releases occurred together, and had functional equivalence. The most recent pair was 1.10 + 2.2. There is an *automatic* upgrade for 1.7->1.10. I would therefore suggest that you attempt upgrade to 1.10 before looking at the issues of going from 1.x to 2.x. >>>>>> We want to run ManifoldCF 2.3 on Java 8 in a Servlet-API 3.0 container (Tomcat 7), which is - for now - predefined by our OPs. Is this possible? Or is Servlet now API 3.1 required? (we notices that the shipped standalone deployment now works with Jetty 9) <<<<<< The only reason for the servlet API upgrade was for Jetty 9 to work. Java 8 should work fine. I also expect Tomcat 7 to work fine, but the simple way to test this would be to deploy the standalone combined war in a test environment and see how it does. That way you will know of any issues before you take the plunge. As for documentation -- it is a good point that we could use a migration guide. I'll create a ticket to write one. Hope this helps.
