Migrate Registry Values

(Only required if upgrading from version 6.00)

Important! If upgrading from version 6.0, you must migrate the old Orchestria registry keys on every CA DLP machine before you upgrade!

In r12.0, the registry key used by CA DLP components changed:

• In 6.0, the product registry key was:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Orchestria\Active Policy Management
  

• In r12.0 and later, the product registry key is:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\CA DLP
  

New product installations automatically use the new CA DLP registry key, but upgrades from 6.0 require a manual registry fix. Specifically, before you upgrade any CA DLP server (including the CMS), or any client machine or utility machine, you must run the migreg.exe utility to copy existing registry values to the new key. The upgrade is blocked if the installation wizard detects that registry values have not been migrated to the new key.

1. Find migreg.exe in the\Support folder on your CA DLP distribution media. We recommend that you copy this utility to a suitable network location.
2. Before you upgrade a CA DLP machine, run this command locally:

   <path>\migreg -m
   

   Where <path> specifies the migreg.exe location you chose in step 1.

3. After successfully upgrading all CA DLP components on a machine, you can optionally run this command to purge the old Orchestria registry keys:

   <path>\migreg -p
