How to Migrate from r12.0

Migrating from r12.0 to r12.1 SP3 requires that you complete the following procedures:

1. Review the sections in Before You Upgrade the Policy Server.
2. Upgrade an r12.0 Policy Server to r12.1 SP3.

   Note: Consider the following:

   • The Policy Server installer replaces the r12.0 Policy Server User Interface with the FSS Administrative UI during the upgrade. The r12.1 SP3 Policy Server continues to provide access control and generates log files that contain auditing information. However, you cannot administer the r12.0 policy store through an r12.1 SP3 Policy Server until the Administrative UI is installed.
   • An r12.1 SP3 Policy Server can only communicate with an r12.1 SP3 key database. If you are upgrading a CA SiteMinder Federation Security Services environment, do one of the following:
     • Upgrade the existing SOA Security Manager key database to r12.1 SP3.
     • Migrate the existing keys and certificates to an r12.1 SP3 SOA Security Manager key database.

     The Policy Server installer lets you upgrade a key database to r12.1 SP3 or create an r12.1 SP3 key database during the Policy Server upgrade.

   Important! If you are using WS-Security SAML tokens, the existing SOA Security Manager key database (smkeydatabase) must be upgraded to r12.1 SP3 or the existing keys and certificates must be migrated to an r12.1 SP3 SOA Security Manager key database. A r12.1 SP3 Policy Server can only communicate with a r12.1 SP3 key database. The SOA Security Manager installer lets you upgrade an existing key database to r12.1 SP3 or create a r12.1 SP3 key database during the Policy Server upgrade.

3. Review After You Upgrade the Policy Server.
4. Upgrade an r12.0 SOA Agent to r12.1 SP3.
5. Upgrade the remaining r12.0 Policy Servers and r12.0 SOA Agents to r12.1 SP3.

   Important! Although the Policy Servers continue to protect resources and you have access to the Policy Server Management Console, you cannot administer the Policy Servers. The Policy Server installer replaced the Policy Server User Interface with the FSS Administrative UI during the upgrade. You cannot record policy information in the policy store until you have installed the r12.1 SP3 Administrative UI. Account for this time as you plan your migration.

6. Upgrade the r12.0 policy and key stores to r12.1 SP3

   Note: The existing r12.0 policy store schema has not changed. The r12.1 SP3 migration requires that you upgrade the policy store schema to extend the policy store for objects required by r12.1 SP3.

7. Install the r12.1 SP3 Administrative UI.
8. (Optional) If required, register each FSS Administrative UI with its respective Policy Server.
9. (Optional) Install a Report Server.

   Note: For more information about registering a FSS Administrative UI and installing the Report Server, see the Policy Server Installation Guide.
