If you upgraded WebSphere from 6.0.2.17

When you upgrade CA Identity Manager 8.1 SP2 from WebSphere 6.0.2.17 or greater fix pack, you uninstall CA Identity Manager and then reinstall a new version on the latest supported version of WebSphere. After reinstalling, CA Identity Manager, you apply any customizations from CA Identity Manager 8.1 SP2 to the new installation.

Important! To avoid port conflicts, we recommend uninstalling WebSphere 6.0 before installing the supported version of WebSphere. However, you must first back up the IdentityMinder EAR as described in Step 3 of the following procedure.

To upgrade CA Identity Manager from WebSphere 6.0.2.17 or greater Fix Pack

1. Install the minimum supported version of WebSphere and the minimum supported JDK version.

   Note: See the CA Identity Manager support matrix on CA Support for the latest supported versions.

2. Create a cluster with one member.

   Note: For more information, see the WebSphere Cluster Setup section in the Installation Guide for WebSphere.

3. Perform the prerequisite steps.

   Note: Be sure to back up the IdentityMinderEAR. Also, If the system where CA Identity Manager is to be installed contains SiteMinder and you are using CA Directory for your SiteMinder policy store, we recommend that you do not install the Provisioning Directory on this system.

4. Uninstall CA Identity Manager.
5. If you did not uninstall WebSphere 6.0, stop the older version of WebSphere.
6. Start the new version of WebSphere.

   Note: If both versions of WebSphere use the same port number, they cannot be running at the same time.

7. Perform a new installation of the Identity Manager Server. Do not use existing messaging store databases with the new installation.

   Note: For more information, see How to Install CA Identity Manager on a WebSphere Cluster in the Installation Guide for WebSphere.

   Be sure to provide the existing CA Identity Manager database credentials during the install.

   Important! If you have different database stores for task persistence, workflow, audit, and reports, update the data sources to point to the separate stores.

8. Upgrade the workflow database.
9. Export the Directories and Environments from the SiteMinder Policy Store.
10. Migrate the Task Persistence data.
11. Restore all customizations to the cluster.
12. Perform post-upgrade configurations.
