How to Migrate from r12.0

Migrating from r12.0 to r12.1 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. If you have one or more SOA Security Gateways, upgrade the Policy Server that hosts the SOA Security Gateway Configuration Manager first.

   Note: The Policy Server installer replaces the Policy Server User Interface with the FSS Administrative UI during the upgrade. The r12.1 Policy Server continues to provide access control and generates log files that contain auditing information. However, you cannot administer the r12.1 Policy Server to record policy configuration information in the policy store until the Administrative UI is installed.

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

3. Review After You Upgrade the Policy Server.
4. Upgrade an r12.0 SOA Agent or SOA Security Gateway to r12.1.
5. Upgrade the remaining r12.0 Policy Servers, SOA Agents, and SOA Security Gateways to r12.1, respectively.

   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 Administrative UI. Account for this time as you plan your migration.

6. Upgrade the r12.0 policy and key stores to r12.1
7. Install the r12.1 Administrative UI.
8. (Optional) If required, register each FSS Administrative UI with its respective Policy Server.
