How to Upgrade an r6.x Policy Store

A new policy store is not required for an upgrade to r12.0 SP3. You can upgrade an existing policy store to r12.0 SP3.

Complete the following procedures to upgrade a policy store:

1. Extend the policy store schema.

   Note: The existing r6.x policy store schema has not changed. The r12.0 SP3 migration requires that you extend the policy store schema for policy store for objects that r12.0 SP3 requires.

2. Import the base policy store objects.

   Note: If you are upgrading a Federation Security Services environment, there is no change to the Policy Server Option Pack (PSOP) schema. If your policy store already contains the default objects in the ampolicy.smdif file, you do not have to re-import the file.

3. Import the policy store data definitions.

Note: If you are trying to configure or upgrade a SiteMinder store listed in the SiteMinder Platform Support Matrix and cannot find the procedures in this guide, see the Directory Configuration Guide.
