How to Upgrade Simple SOA Security Manager Test Environments

You follow the upgrade paths detailed in this guide only if you must maintain single-sign on or failover.

If your test environment does not require these, the most efficient way to upgrade is to:

1. Install a CA SiteMinder® 12.51 Policy Server.

   Note: Ensure that you install a new Policy Server and do not upgrade the existing Policy Server. More information on installing a Policy Server exists in the Policy Server Installation Guide.

2. Use XPSExport to export data from the CA SOA Security Manager r12.1 SP3 policy store.
3. Use XPSImport to import the CA SOA Security Manager r12.1 SP3 policy store data into the CA SiteMinder® 12.51 policy store.
4. Uninstall CA SOA Security Manager r12.1 SP3.

When moving policy data from one environment to another, either as part of an upgrade or a policy migration, some objects that are environment–specific are included in the export file. Examples of these objects include:

• Trusted hosts
• HCO Policy Server settings
• Authentication scheme URLs

Depending on the mode you select when using XPSExport, these objects may be added to the new environment or can overwrite existing settings. Be sure that you do not adversely affect environment settings when importing the objects.
