This section contains documentation to guide you in upgrading your project from Bloomreach Experience Manager 12 to Bloomreach Experience Manager 13.

Bloomreach Experience Manager applies Semantic Versioning for its releases, which implies that backwards incompatible changes can be made between major versions. Such changes force you to apply a number of changes to your Bloomreach Experience Manager product, which are described in this section of the documentation.

For starters, you should read the general introduction to Bloomreach Experience Manager upgrades. Next, please study the page listing the relevant changes between version 12 and 13, providing information on the rationale behind the changes. We expect that understanding this background will help you comprehend and apply the necessary changes successfully. Then, you should be ready to start upgrading your project, following the described steps.

Note that the upgrade steps describe upgrading a v12 project to a v13 project in Single Delivery Webapp Mode.

Optionally, you may want to convert the upgraded project from Single Delivery Webapp Mode to Multi Delivery Webapp Mode.
