Upgrade liferay-portal-6.2-ce-ga6 to liferay-ce-portal-7.0-ga4 - Windows

Wow. Thanks for reporting back. That is a description that I didn't expect.

My first thought, when I read this again, was that I wasn't sure if the backslashes were properly escaped in all cases and it might be worth to use forward-slashes / to separate Windows paths. I'd assume that the upgrader generates the classpath automatically from the available code - that should be why it's asking for the Liferay 7 directory. When (If) the backslashes aren't properly escaped, this would wreak havoc to the filenames - for example some-directory\tomcat would translate to some-directory<tab>omcat

But again, this is just a quick guess. I'm religiously staying away from backslashes as Windows Path separators.

Hi Mohammed,

You should post under the Liferay Portal -> Installation / Deployment / Setup forum. You'll have better luck finding help w/ this question.

Upgrade liferay-portal-6.2-ce-ga6 to liferay-ce-portal-7.0-ga4 - Windows

2017-08-08T19:59:43Z

Hello LR Community,

Requirement:
Upgrade liferay-portal-6.2-ce-ga6 to liferay-ce-portal-7.0-ga4. I've followed the steps and details outlined in this page. I downloaded the items from sourceforge.

Issue:

When I run the tool I get the below error,

Error: Could not find or load main class com.liferay.portal.tools.DBUpgrader

C:\sts-bundle\liferay-ce-portal-tools-7.0-ga4\portal-tools-db-upgrade-client&gt;java -jar com.liferay.portal.tools.db.upgrade.client.jar

Error: Could not find or load main class com.liferay.portal.tools.DBUpgrader

C:\sts-bundle\liferay-ce-portal-tools-7.0-ga4\portal-tools-db-upgrade-client&gt;

Investigation & Details:
I unzipped the com.liferay.portal.tools.db.upgrade.client.jar and couldn't find the DBUpgrader class.

LR 6 portal directory - C:\sts-bundle\liferay-portal-6.2-ce-ga6
LR 7 portal directory - C:\sts-bundle\liferay-ce-portal-7.0-ga4
LR 7 tools directory - C:\sts-bundle\liferay-ce-portal-tools-7.0-ga4

I also tried placing the tools folder in the LR 6 portal & LR 7 portal directory, and tried running it from there, but I get the same error.

C:\sts-bundle\liferay-ce-portal-7.0-ga4\portal-tools-db-upgrade-client&gt;java -jar com.liferay.portal.tools.db.upgrade.client.jar
Error: Could not find or load main class com.liferay.portal.tools.DBUpgrader

C:\sts-bundle\liferay-portal-6.2-ce-ga6\portal-tools-db-upgrade-client&gt;java -jar com.liferay.portal.tools.db.upgrade.client.jar
Error: Could not find or load main class com.liferay.portal.tools.DBUpgrader

Environment
Windows 7, 64 bit

Question:
What am I missing here?
