Before You Begin

Before you begin the process of upgrading the current CA Access Control installation consider the following:

• We recommend that you backup CA Access Control components before starting the upgrade process. We recommend backing up the system files before starting the upgrade process, including all databases.
• CA Access Control Enterprise Management installs the following components: CA Access Control Enterprise Management, CA Access Control, Distribution Server, Enterprise reporting service.
• After upgrading the previous DMS is unavailable. You must upgrade CA Access Control Enterprise Management, DMS and DH before starting the server.
• Specify to use an embedded user store when installing CA Access Control Enterprise Management.

  Important! You cannot use UNAB reports and login authorization policies when you install CA Access Control Enterprise Management on the embedded user store. To generate UNAB reports and configure login authorization policies, you must install Active Directory. If you choose to install Active Directory all records of the existing users and roles will be lost.
