To migrate a CA IdentityMinder environment

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

Follow these steps:

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

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

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

When migrating a CA IdentityMinder 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.
