      Title: Installing the EAP6 package

      Describe the issue:

      • Sometimes customers do not interpret these lines in the documentation correctly and attempt to install the BPMS/BRMS deployable installer on an existing EAP6.1.1 installation where they have already installed an earlier release of BPMS/BRMS (e.g. version 6.0.0/6.0.1/6.0.3) .
        ~~~
        To install the deployable package for an EAP that has yet to be configured,...
        ...
        To install the deployable package for a previously configured EAP,...
        ...
        Ensure the target EAP does not include a deployment with a colliding name. Copy the folder jboss-eap-6.1/standalone/deployments into the EAP_HOME directory from the BPMS distribution. ...
        ~~~

      As of BPMS/BRMS 6.0.x releases we do not have any smart update tool for this product , hence it is a natural tendency amongst customer community to simply apply the latest versions of these products on an already installed BPMS)/BRMS set-up for a quick set-up. Which leads to many issues.

      Suggestions for improvement:

      • My suggestion to the documentation team is to enhance this topic and put a WARNING message (like a dialogue box appearing in this section of documentation) to warn customers not to attempt to install this deployable version of BPMS/BRMS on top of an existing BPMS/BRMS set-up. This should prevent customers from facing further complications due to wrong installation.
