Prerequisites to installing the QF

• Adobe LiveCycle ES4 SP1 (11.0.1)
• 11.0.1-COR-1075-020  

Installing and configuring the QF

1. Take a backup of the <LiveCycle_root>/deploy folder. It is required if you decide to uninstall the quick fix.
2. Stop your application server.
3. Extract the QF archive file to your hard drive.
4. In the directory named according to the operating system that you are using:
   
   • Windows
     Navigate to the appropriate directory on the installation media or folder on your hard disk where you copied the installer, and double-click the install.exe file.
     • (Windows 32-bit) CDROM_Installers\Windows\Disk1\InstData\VM
     • (Windows 64-bit) CDROM_Installers\Windows_64Bit\Disk1\InstData\VM
   • Linux, Solaris, AIX
     Navigate to the appropriate directory, and from a command prompt, type ./install.bin.
     • (Linux) CDROM_Installers/Disk1/InstData/NoVM
     • (Solaris) CDROM_Installers/Disk1/InstData/NoVM
     • (AIX) CDROM_Installers/Disk1/InstData/VM
       

   This launches an install wizard that guides you through the installation.

5. On the Introduction panel, click Next.
6. On the Choose Install Folder screen, verify that the default location displayed is correct for your existing installation, or click Browse to select the alternate folder where LiveCycle ES4 SP1 is currently installed, and click Next.
7. Read the Quick Fix Patch Summary information and click Next.
8. Read the Pre-Installation Summary information and click Install.
9. When the installation is complete, click Next to apply the quick fix updates to your installed files.
10. The Start Configuration Manager checkbox is selected by default. Click Done to run the Configuration Manager.

    To run Configuration Manager later, deselect the Start Configuration Manager option before you click Done. You can start Configuration Manager later using the appropriate script in the [LiveCycle root]/configurationManager/bin directory.

11. Depending on your application server, choose one of the following documents and follow the instructions in the Configuring and Deploying LiveCycle section.
    • Installing and Deploying LiveCycle ES4 for JBoss
    • Installing and Deploying LiveCycle ES4 for WebSphere
    • Installing and Deploying LiveCycle ES4 for WebLogic
12. Restart the server machine.

Additional steps to use Guides after installing the QF

The submission process for the guides has changed. The new process is: 

• Now, Guides send the Data XML as a URL encoded parameter in a POST request. The dataxml parameter contains the XML.
  Evaluate the noHeaders parameter to verify whether the data XML is present as stream or URL parameter. If the value is true, the data is passed as a request parameters or if the value is false, the data is passed as a stream.
  
• Now, while previewing the Guide and submitting the page, the content type is displayed as application/x-www-url-encoded instead of text or XML.
  If your servlet code reads request.inputStream and passes it to XMLParser, similar fiunctionality is not supported on the newer versions of Adobe Flash Player. Instead, read the XML data from the dataxml URL parameter and pass it to the parser.  To address the issue, modify the code to be:  

On submission of Guides, the following new parameters are also sent:
