Title: 8.4.1 and 8.4.0 Content Store(s)
Post by: SynexusStuart on 24 Mar 2011 03:58:25 AM
All,

Our live environment is currently on 8.4.0.

We have a new Dev environment which we want to be 8.4.1 using a replica content store (which will be copied from 8.4.0).

If we install 8.4.1 on new dev environment from scratch, can we point that at an 8.4.0 CS? Or do we need to install 8.4.0, point that install at the CS and then upgrade it all to 8.4.1?

Hope that's clear...
Stuart

When you point your 8.4.1 instance at the copy of the content store from 8.4.0, it will upgrade the content store to 8.4.1 specs.  This will then mean that the content store will not be suitable for use back in 8.4.0 though (so don't point 8.4.1 directly at your live 8.4.0 content store).

Best regards,

MF.
