====== Updating Alfresco from 2.9 to 3.2 ======

I've had some trouble updating Alfresco from version 2.9 to 3.2. It seems that going from 2.9 to 3.2 directly is not supported. So here is what I did:

  - I set up an Alfresco 3b system and let it point to the old 2.9 data directory and database (I took 3b because I had the war available, 3Final is liable to work as well)
  - when 3b is started it will update the db schema and run some patches. This can take quite a lot of time depending on the contents and size of the repository. After applying patch 7 out of 10 or so, Alfresco stopped with an error. I started 3b again and it successfully finished applying the patches.
  - after running one minute the versionStoreMigrationCleanupJob is started in background. This job removes old entries from the version store. I had quite a lot of them so I wait for it to finish then stopped Alfresco.
  - I set up Alfresco 3.2 and let it point to the data directory and database.
  - Alfresco 3.2 didn't start up with the lucene-indexes created by 3b. There was some read-past-eof-error when accessing the indexes. Therefore I removed the indexes and set index.recovery.mode=FULL
  - Starting up 3.2 updated the repository successfully.
