<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto">All advice from Pieter. Additionally assess your index strategy. The index definitions from 2.1 will work, or at least ours from 2.2 did, but upgrading from old range to new range or more sophisticated methods are worth inspecting. <div><br></div><div>Also from our perspective: backup/restore is a good start but that works best for data/users not so much for logic/applications. So if you like us have a mix of data and apps in 2.1 you might want to tweak the backup zip so it only contains data and users. Do the applications using xar install. </div><div><br></div><div>Xar install might fail until pre/post-install scripts are updated for xquery 3.1. Exist-db 2 used preliminary syntax for xquery 3.0/1 which exist-db >= 5 no longer supports like Pieter mentioned:</div><div><br></div><div><div style="display: block;" class=""><div style="-webkit-user-select: all; -webkit-user-drag: element; display: inline-block;" class="apple-rich-link" draggable="true" role="link" data-url="https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/upgrading"><a style="border-radius:10px;font-family:-apple-system, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;display:block;-webkit-user-select:none;width:300px;user-select:none;-webkit-user-modify:read-only;user-modify:read-only;overflow:hidden;text-decoration:none;" class="lp-rich-link" rel="nofollow" href="https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/upgrading" dir="ltr" role="button" draggable="false" width="300"><table style="table-layout:fixed;border-collapse:collapse;width:300px;background-color:#E9E9EB;font-family:-apple-system, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" class="lp-rich-link-emailBaseTable" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="300"><tbody><tr><td vertical-align="center"><table bgcolor="#E9E9EB" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="300" style="font-family:-apple-system, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;table-layout:fixed;background-color:rgba(233, 233, 235, 1);" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:8px 0px 8px 0px;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStackItem"><div style="max-width:100%;margin:0px 16px 0px 16px;overflow:hidden;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStack"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;font-weight:500;font-size:12px;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis;text-align:left;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStack-topCaption-leading"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/upgrading" style="text-decoration: none" draggable="false"><font color="#000000" style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);">eXist-db Documentation</font></a></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word;font-weight:400;font-size:11px;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis;text-align:left;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStack-bottomCaption-leading"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/upgrading" style="text-decoration: none" draggable="false"><font color="#A2A2A9" style="color: rgba(60, 60, 67, 0.6);">exist-db.org</font></a></div></div></td><td style="padding:6px 12px 6px 0px;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-rightIconItem" width="36"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/upgrading" draggable="false"><img style="pointer-events:none !important;display:inline-block;width:36px;height:36px;border-radius:3px;" width="36" height="36" draggable="false" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-rightIcon" alt="exist_icon_16x16.ico" src="cid:A2534EA8-74A4-40E9-9F0F-0EDBD2FA28A3"></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></a></div></div><div><br></div>Most code issues you’ll have started with exist-db 5.

The orbeon to vue move is now 3 years in the making. They still run side by side. We found the best start in Roaster by hiring eXist people.
