To migrate a CA Identity Manager environment

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

Follow these steps:

1. If CA Identity Manager integrates with CA SiteMinder® and you have a Policy Server cluster, check that only one Policy Server is running.
2. Stop all but one CA Identity Manager node.
3. Export CA 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 CA Identity Manager integrates with CA SiteMinder®, reprotect the CA Identity Manager realms in the Policy Server User Interface.

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

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

When migrating a CA Identity Manager Environment, the following activities occur:

• If the same object exists in both locations, the changes on the development server overwrite changes on the production server.
• 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.
