tileCache Store deprecation at 11.4 - can the machine be repurposed as an objectStore?

[DavidColey]

Hi - I prepping for upgrade from 11.3 - 11.4, I just now saw the deprecation of the tileCache store at 11.4 and the reccomendation to convert/standup an objectStore. 

Can I re-purpose my current tileCache store server as an Object Store server?  Any recommendations on this?

Thanks-

Oh boy, I guess I have to make my own mistakes.  Its not a catch 22.  I just need to go ahead and follow @MarceloMarques  's workflow, as the 

C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\DataStore\tools>disabledatastore

is not part of the utility commands at 11.3.  I don't know why I though it was.  At 11.4 after I deploy the object store as a single machine, configure the file share backup location, and replace the ssl cert for webserver communications, I should be good to go.  I can then remove the tile cache store with the disabledatastore command and run disckcleanup...

Some more info on this.  I basically ended up having to uninstall datastore and then re-install it with only the object store as an available datastore type. Otherwise, when I tried to upgrade the tileCache datastore, the upgrade program saw this as a relational store update, even though the 'type to update' read 'tileCache'.

Not sure why, but probably because I had previously made a relational store available on this machine, it then created a relational store as a standby machine to my current relational store that is installed on a separate machine.

I then went into server admin and removed the 'standby' machine.  Then I uninstalled data store entirely and wiped out the content in both the C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\DataStore directory and in my D:\arcgisdatastore content directory. 

When I reinstalled Data Store, I only allowed for the object store type.
