Upgrade CA Directory

This procedure covers the case where you have an older release of CA Directory running on a Windows computer, and you want to upgrade it to the latest version.

Note: Before you start, ensure each DSA in your system has only one database.

To upgrade Directory

  1. Log in as a user with Administrator privileges.
  2. Insert the CA Directory installation CD.

    The installation wizard starts.

    Note: If the wizard does not start automatically, navigate to the CD drive and run DXSetup.exe.

  3. When prompted, specify the location of the backup.
  4. Click Migrate.

    The upgrade process backs up your data in the location you specified.

  5. When prompted to choose an installation type, we recommend that you choose a custom installation.
  6. When prompted, supply the requested information as required.

    The installation process completes the upgrade and creates a backup as requested.

  7. When prompted, confirm that you want to restore your configuration and databases.

    The installation process restores the data that the installation process backed up in step 4.

    The message Restoration is complete appears.

  8. Click OK and exit the installation wizard.

    The installation process completes and installs the product on your computer.
