How to Upgrade Simple 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 the latter, the most efficient way to upgrade is to:

1. Install an r12.0 SP2 Policy Server.

   Note: Be sure that you install a new Policy Server. Do not upgrade the existing Policy Server. For more information about installing a Policy Server, see the Policy Server Installation Guide.

2. Do one of the following:
   • If you are upgrading from r6.x, use smobjexport to export data from the r6.x policy store.
   • If you are upgrading from r12.x, use XPSExport to export data from the r12.x policy store.

   Note: For more information about using either utility, see the Policy Server Administration Guide.

3. Do one of the following:
   • If you are upgrading from r6.x, use smobjimport to import the r6.x policy store data into the r12.0 SP2 policy store.
   • If you are upgrading from r12.x, use XPSImport to import the r12.x policy store data into the r12.0 SP2 policy store.

   Note: For more information about using either utility, see the Policy Server Administration Guide.

4. Uninstall SiteMinder r6.x or r12.x.
