Before You Upgrade the Policy Server

Consider the following before you upgrade a Policy Server:

• If a 5.1 Sun ONE directory server and a Policy Server are installed on the same Windows 2003 system, upgrade the LDAP SDK to 5.0.8 dated July 17, 2002 or later. Failing to upgrade the LDAP SDK results in Policy Server instability.

  Note: Upgrade the LDAP SDK, regardless of the use of the Sun ONE directory server.

• Uninstall the Data Direct drivers.

  Note: This step only applies if your SOA Security Manager environment contains an RDB data store.

• Record Oracle/SQL data sources and recreate them.
• Remove the Policy Server being upgraded from your environment.
• Install the documentation.
