CAUTION
For customers with Feature Packs installed on AEM 6.4. Optional Feature Packs provided by Adobe have dependencies on the release version and service packs. If you have any Feature Pack installed, please contact the AEM Customer Care team to validate the compatibility of those feature packs with this cumulative fix pack for AEM 6.4.
  • AEM 6.4.8.4 requires AEM 6.4.8.0. Please visit upgrade documentation for detailed instructions.
  • On a deployment with MongoDB and multiple instances, install AEM 6.4.8.4 on one of the Author instances using the Package Manager.
  • Before installing the cumulative fix pack, ensure to have a snapshot or fresh backup of your AEM instance.
  • Restart the instance before installation. While that is only needed when the instance is still in update mode (and this is the case when the instance was just updated from an earlier version), it’s generally recommended if the instance was running for longer period of time.
NOTE
Adobe does not recommend removing or uninstalling the AEM 6.4.8.4 package.

The user has to wait for specific logs related to uninstallation of updater bundle before being ensured that the installation is successful. It generally happens on Safari but can intermittently happen on any browser.

Automatic installation auto-installation

There are two ways to automatically install AEM 6.4.8.4 into a running instance:

A. Place the package into …/crx-quickstart/install folder while the server is running. The package gets installed automatically.

B. Use the HTTP API from Package Manager - make sure you use cmd=install&recursive=true - so the nested package are installed.

NOTE
