Migration Failed Error Appears

Symptom:

I received a message stating that the smkeydatabase migration failed.

Solution:

The migration utility (smmigratecds) compared the contents of the smkeydatabase to the certificate data store and identified one or more data inconsistencies. An example of a data inconsistency is the same alias mapping to different certificates.

These inconsistencies prevented a successful migration.

Follow these steps:

1. Use the smkeydatabase migration log (smkeydatabaseMigration.log) to identify the problem.

   If you run the smmigratecds utility, you can specify a log file.

   The default location for the log file is federation_mgr_home/siteminder/log.

   federation_mgr_home is the installation directory for Federation Manager.

2. Access the smkeydatabase using the smkeytool utility with the access legacy key store flag (–accessLegacyKS).
3. Resolve the data inconsistencies that resulted in the failure.

   Note: For more information, review how to use smkeytool.

4. Migrate the key database manually.
