Manually Recreate the Environment

When doing a manual upgrade of the Identity Manager Server, manually recreate the Environment and reimport the information into the object store, using the Management Console.

Note: If you are upgrading from CA Identity Manager r12 and you implemented some of the account management preview functionality for certain endpoint types, remove all data (tabs and screens) related to those endpoint types from the roledefinition.xml file before importing it into CA Identity Manager r12.5 SP5. To access your provisioning information and the new CA Identity Manager functionality for these endpoint types, import the specific endpoint type roledefinition.xml file after recreating the environment.

Important! If you want to continue to use SiteMinder to protect your Identity Manager Environment, change the agent name in the environmentname_environment.xml within the exported ZIP file before importing the environment into CA Identity Manager r12.5 SP5. This agent name must be the same agent specified in the SiteMinder realm that protected the CA Identity Manager r8.1 SP2 Environment. For example,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ImsEnvironment name="neteauto_rdb_orgless" directory="neteauto_rdb_orgless" provisioningdirectory="eta" alias="neteautordb" publicalias="neteautoprdb_public" publicuser="2" jobtimeout="15" basedir="http://baseidm.dev.com:9080/idm" agent="iis6webagent" imstemplatefile="neteauto_rdb_orgless_environment_roles.xml" envsettingsfile="neteauto_rdb_orgless_environment_settings.xml" oid="35-bb06e65d-b7d7-4c0d-9d5a-f15021ae210d" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="imsconfig://schema/ImsEnvironment.xsd"/>

To recreate the environment

1. In the Management Console, go to Environments.
2. Click the Import button.
3. Browse for the following ZIP file created during the environment export:

   ims_env_name.zip
   

4. Click Finish.

   CA Identity Manager recreates the environment.

Note: If the connection to your task persistence database goes down during the recreation of the environment, or your task persistence data is not completely migrated over to CA Identity Manager r12.5 SP5, you can use the Migrate button on the Environment page in the Management Console to restart the migration process. Restarting this process does not duplicate tasks that have already been migrated.
