Post-Upgrade Steps

Update Site Level Override Components

• Any site level override ADF Lib components located in the "_cs_apps/lib/" folder will need to be renamed and the component "extends" updated to point to the latest version of the matching ADF Lib components.

Example: "_cs_apps/lib/scripts_1_1.cfc" needs to become "scripts_2_0.cfc" and the extends value in the component tag
will need to point to "ADF.lib.scripts.scripts_2_0"

Update Custom App Lib Component References

• Update any ADF Lib component references in your custom ADF Apps to the latest versions of the matching ADF 2.0 Lib components in the App's appBeanConfig.cfm file (in the root of the App directory).

Example: "addConstructorDependency(appBeanName, "scripts_1_2", "scripts"); " needs to become
"addConstructorDependency(appBeanName, "scripts_2_0", "scripts");"

1. Register the ADF Script Resources with CommonSpot (for ADF 2.0 and above only!)
   1. Run the Register ALL Scripts tool.
