Decide About Options During Upgrade

The installer performs the following tasks that you could instead choose to perform manually:

• Upgrade the workflow database—updates the workflow database schema to work with WorkPoint 3.4.2.
• Migrate task persistence—migrates all pending Identity Manager tasks from a previous version of CA Identity Manager to the upgraded version.

  Note: After the upgrade, you can migrate all other tasks (not in a pending state) by manually running the task persistence data migration. For more information, see Manual Upgrades.

• Migrate Identity Manager Directories and Environments—migrates all directories and environments from SiteMinder to the Identity Manager object store, if upgrading from CA Identity Manager r8.1 SP2. SiteMinder objects that are no longer used are not deleted after the migration, but you can manually delete them after the upgrade.

  Note: For RDB user stores, the recreation of the directories and environments is a manual process.

If you want to perform these tasks during the upgrade, select the appropriate check box when prompted by the installer. If you would rather perform these tasks manually after the upgrade, the section Manually Upgrade the Identity Manager Server provides the steps you need.
