Hi,

try to upgrade vom 4.2 to 6.1, but there is a problem with patch.db-v4.2-migrate-activiti-workflows.

Is there any way to fix this issue (we do not need workflows)?

As the warning suggests, you can't upgrade from 4.2 to 6.x directly with everything successfully working. There may be incompatiblities involved, that's why it is recommended to do incremental upgrade. Ideally from 4.2.x to 5.2.x and then 6.x

From version below 5.2.x UpgradePath to 5.x

From 5.x UpgradePath to ACS6.x

Community version UpgradePath to ACS6.x

Hi @samuelw,

Alfresco partner Keensoft have some useful blogs on upgrading Alfresco - 4.2.c-5.0.c,  &  5 to 6 considerations., and their upgrade process for 5-6. Here's Angel Borroy's slidedeck on migration. Concentric have also written a 5-6 upgrade guide.
