Upgrade from Federation Manager r12 on Windows

Run the r12.1 Federation Manager installer executable (ca-fedmgr-12.1-win32.exe) to upgrade Federation Manager. The installer is located on the Technical Support site. You do not need to deactivate your partnerships before upgrading.

Important!

Do not install Federation Manager on a system where the SiteMinder Policy Server or Secure Proxy Server (SPS) is already installed. Installing Federation Manager on a SiteMinder system could negatively impact the existing SiteMinder installation.

Do not install Federation Manager on a system where there is an existing Apache Web Server or Apache Tomcat Server.

Do not install SiteMinder or the Secure Proxy Server on a system where Federation Manager is installed, as this might have an adverse effect on Federation Manager.

Actions to Take if an Upgrade Error Occurs

In case of DB Upgrade failure, Federation Manager displays an error message that instructs you to run the policy_store_upgrade script. The upgrade script (policy_store_upgrade.bat) is located in federation_mgr_home/install_config_info.

If you experience other problems during the installation, review the installation log file CA_Federation_Manager_InstallLog.log and the upgrade log file CA_Federation_policy_store_upgrade.log. Both files are the directory federation_mgr_home/install_config_info.
