Hi @anuradha1 

Yes it is possible but you have to do incremental upgrades - meaning you can't go directly from 3.4 to 5.2. You can get an overview of the steps from this answer.

There are also some very useful guides from Keensoft - here is one about approaches to upgrades, another on the various upgrade paths.

HTH,

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I did as the way explained in articles you provided. I replaced contentsore and contentstore.deleted in alfdata from previous version to target version. But it is not working. I think that is becouse i did nothing with db side. I can't understand what exactly i need to do to with the db. 

Can you plz explain steps i need to follow.

Thanks.

Hi @anuradha1 

You can continue using MySQL (InnoDB tables) in Community 5+.
