To migrate an Identity Manager environment

A Identity Manager Environment is created from the Management Console. It includes a set of role and task definitions, workflow definitions, custom features created with Identity Manager APIs, and a Identity Manager Directory.

To migrate an Identity Manager environment

1. If Identity Manager integrates with SiteMinder, and you have a Policy Server cluster, check that only one Policy Server is running.
2. Stop all but one Identity Manager node.
3. Export Identity Manager Environments from the Management Console in the development environment.
4. Import the exported environments in the Management Console in the production environment.
5. If Identity Manager integrates with SiteMinder, reprotect the Identity Manager realms in the Policy Server User Interface.

   The policy domain is not exported from the policy store when you export a Identity Manager Environment.

6. Restart the Policy Server and Identity Manager nodes that you stopped.

When migrating a Identity Manager Environment, the following occurs:

• The changes on the development server overwrite changes on the production server if the same object exists in both locations.
• If new objects are created on the development environment, they are added to the production server.
• If new objects are created on the production server, they are maintained.
