Upgrading DXmanager

DXmanager has been changed significantly since CA Directory r12 SP2.

To upgrade a component, run the installer again, using the instructions for Windows or UNIX.

Follow these steps:

Upgrade all CA Directory nodes to CA Directory r12 SP9.
DXmanager cannot correctly manage a directory host that runs an older version of CA Directory.
Upgrade the Directory Management package on the DXmanager host.
The installation process displays a warning message, stating that this is a major upgrade.
Clear internet caches, to prevent problems:
- Delete all temporary Internet files from the Internet browser.
- (Windows) Open Control Panel, Java, Temporary Internet Files, Settings, then click “Delete Files.”
Migrate customized command settings used by the pre-upgrade version that are now supported by DXmanager:
1. Plan: Match your custom settings against the list in Commands Used in DXmanager.
2. Deploy the new model.
  DXmanager detects any conflicts between existing text settings and settings in DXmanager.
  
  Note: When a new model is deployed any customized settings placed in the “dxmanager.dxc” files will not be detected as conflicts as they are now ignored by DXmanager
3. Check the alert and warn logs for information about the conflicts.
  Note: The Administration Guide contains information about Troubleshooting DXmanager.
4. Remove the settings from the text files, and update any DXmanager configuration, then deploy the revised configuration.
