Overview

Background

There is a need to complete this Coldfusion upgrade for OLLBook due to the core support from Adobe for Coldfusion 9 which will end on 31/12/16, and also the Solaris license agreement for the server they reside on coming to an end on 31^st July 2016. OLLBook will need to be migrated off of this server before the end of July 2016, and as such will be upgraded from Coldfusion 9 to Coldfusion 11. The applications that will be upgraded are in the order as follows:

Moving OLLBook onto improved hardware and upgrading the version of Coldfusion may lead to an increase in performance, and more easily scalable applications due to the increases in functionality the upgrade to Coldfusion 11 gives developers. Continued maintenance patches would also be released by Adobe for the time being.

Scope

• Migrate OLLBook to Coldfusion 11 infrastructure servers.
• Test the functionality of OLLBook.

Out of scope:

• Anything other than that which is essential for the compliance upgrade from ColdFusion 9 to a supported version
• Changes or enhancements to the applications themselves are out of scope. Any changes can be estimated and taken forward as a separate project following the deployment sign-off of the ColdFusion upgrade.

Objectives

The objective of the project is to migrate OLLBook from Coldfusion 9 to Coldfusion 11, and for all functionality to remain the same.

Deliverables

OLLBook running on the latest ColdFusion 11 server.

Benefits

Continued support for ColdFusion 11 from Adobe,

Software will be hosted on a newer, more robust server that will benefit from continued support and patching.

Meeting compliance

Success Criteria

OLLBook is a customer facing application, and this will function as previously, with no change in functionality, and no new issues.
