Uninstall and Reinstall the Identity Manager Server on JBoss

Important! The following procedure applies in specific situations. Use this procedure to uninstall and reinstall the Identity Manager Server only if you were referred here by Select the Right Upgrade Procedure.

To uninstall and reinstall the Identity Manager Server on JBoss

1. Back up all custom code.
2. Stop the SiteMinder services, if you are using SiteMinder in your environment.
3. Uninstall the Identity Manager Server. See the Uninstallation and Installation appendix of the Installation Guide.

   This step leaves the Identity Manager environments and directories unchanged.

4. Upgrade your application server to a supported version if it is not already installed.
5. If you are upgrading CA Identity Manager on a system which already has JBoss 4.2.3, perform these steps:
   1. Back up the jboss_home\server\all directory on all nodes.
   2. Remove the jboss_home\server\all directory.
   3. Install the all directory from the JBoss install source under jboss_home\server.
6. Perform a new install of the Identity Manager Server.

   Note: For more information about installing on a cluster, see the Installation Guide (JBoss).

   Be sure to provide the existing CA Identity Manager database credentials during the install and that all values from the previous release of CA Identity Manager are replaced with r12.5 SP5 values.

   Important! If you are upgrading from CA Identity Manager r8.1 sp2 or r12 and you have different database stores for task persistence, workflow, audit, and reports, update the data sources to point to the separate stores.

7. Install the latest version of the JK Connector and be sure that the workers.properties file has the following parameters set:

   worker.worker.ping_mode=A 
   worker.worker.fail_on_status=400,404,500,503
   worker.worker.recovery_options=28
   

8. Upgrade the workflow database.
9. If you are upgrading from CA Identity Manager r8.1 sp2, export the Directories and Environments.
10. Migrate the Task Persistence data.
11. If you are upgrading from CA Identity Manager r8.1 sp2, recreate the Directories.
12. If you are upgrading from CA Identity Manager r8.1 sp2, recreate the Environments.
13. Reapply all custom code.

    Note: If you are using a cluster, be sure to reapply all customizations to the cluster.

14. Start the cluster and verify the installation using the cluster section of the Installation Guide.
