Upgrade an r12.1 Policy Server Using a GUI on UNIX

To upgrade the Policy Server

1. Exit all applications that are running.
2. Execute the following script in a ksh shell from the SOA_HOME/siteminder directory:

   . ./ca_ps_env.ksh
   

   Note: Be sure that there is a space between the periods (. .) when running the script.

3. Open a shell and navigate to the installation executable.
4. Enter the following command:

   ./installation_media gui
   

   installation_media

   Specifies the name of the Policy Server installer executable.

   The SOA Security Manager installation wizard starts

   Note: For a list of installation media names for each operating system, see the installation and upgrade considerations in the Release Notes.

5. Consider the following when running the installer:
   • When prompted to select features to install, select CA SOA Security Manager Policy Server.
   • The installer prompts you to select SOA Security Manager components. When selecting components:
     • Reconfigure components that had been previously configured for the environment. Be sure to select the respective components.
     • If you do not intend to configure a new policy store, clear the Policy Store check box. You do not have to reconfigure existing policy store settings. An upgraded Policy Server retains the policy store settings. You manually upgrade an existing policy store.
6. Review the installation settings and click Install.

   The Policy Server is upgraded. The selected components are configured for use with the Policy Server.

If you experience problems during the installation, you can locate the CA_SOA_Security_Manager_release_InstallLog.log file in soa_home\install_config_info

release

Specifies the SOA Security Manager release number.

You can also use the ca-ps-details.log file located in soa_home\siteminder\install_config_info to check the status of the installer's auto-configuration of an ADAM or Sun Java System Directory Server policy store.

soa_home

Specifies the path to where SOA Security Manager is installed.
