Known Issues

1. When an 8.x lca is migrated into an ES2 application by the tool, the references to assets contained in the lca are all updated except the process variables and activity configurations. Users need to go through all the process variables and parameters of each activity configuration, and update the literal values if any. It is possible the embedded literal values are still referring to some paths that only exist on the previous LiveCycle server.
2. If the existing 8.x lca used deprecated services, WBP-152 will be triggered in validation report view and users are recommended to replace it using its new version in ES2 after migrated. For example, if LC8.x process was using Process Management > User-1.0(deprecated), users need to replace it using Process Management > User-2.0 and select form asset by manual in its configuration panel.
3. User needs to deploy the application on the the server and refresh events view in order to trigger catch event properties when upgraded from LC8.x event by 8.x upgrade/migration tool.
4. Custom components(aka DSCs) and service configuration contained in the lca will be skipped.
