How to Prepare for the Upgrade

Follow these steps:

1. Use the CA SSO platform support matrix to verify that both the previous and new versions of the product use the same operating system. Upgrades are only supported if the operating environments for both versions are the same.
2. Upgrade the other CA SSO components (such as the Policy Server and Web Agent) in your environment first.

   Note: For more information about upgrading your CA SSO components, see the CA SSO documentation.

3. Gather the information for the product upgrade.
4. Run the installation wizard to upgrade the product.
5. Configure the upgraded product.
6. Undeploy the existing SiteMinderLoginModule and redeploy the new SiteMinderLoginModule that is provided with the product.

Gather Information for the Upgrade

To upgrade the product, the installation wizard requires the following information:

Install Folder

Specifies the directory where the previous versions of the product files are installed. The installer replaces these files with the current version during the upgrade.

Default: In Windows, for version 5.6

erp_agent_location\CA\erpconn\

For version 12.0:

erp_agent_location\CA\webasagent

Default: In UNIX/Linux, for version 5.6

erp_agent_location/CA/erpconn/

For version 12.0

erp_agent_location/CA/webasagent

Configuration File Location

Specifies the location of the configuration file from a previous version of the product. The configuration settings of the previous version are copied to the configuration wizard so you do not need to retype them when you run the configuration wizard for the new version. After the installation is complete, run the configuration wizard to confirm or change any settings.

erp_agent_location\erpconn\sapwebas\conf

erp_agent_location/CA/webasagent/sapwebas/conf

SAP Web Application Server Path

Specifies the SAP Web Application Server instance root directory.
