Upgrading and Activity Engine

After you have upgraded from a previous version of Jive, the Activity Engine automatically runs its own upgrade, synthesizing content to deliver to activity streams.

This content synthesis occurs only once after an upgrade. You can monitor the progress of the Activity Engine upgrade on the Activity Upgrade Status page. During the upgrade, you can see a progress bar showing the progress of the upgrade. After the upgrade is finished and successful, a message tells you that all activity has been sent to the Activity Engine for processing. Immediately after that, your activity streams should show active content.

During the Activity Engine upgrade, the progress bar updates every 3-5 seconds. In the rare event that the upgrade hangs (and the progress bar stalls), you should go to the Logging Management page in the Admin Console to try to debug the issue. In the Log Viewer, search for error messages containing com.jivesoftware.community.eae.upgrade. Fix the problem and restart the upgrade with the eae-service restart command.
