Upgrade a 6.x Policy Store

Follow one of the following paths to upgrade a 6.x policy store to r6.0 SP6:

• If SiteMinder r6.0 SP6 continues to support the directory server or database functioning as the 6.x policy store, you can upgrade the policy store. SiteMinder r6.0 SP6 does not require a policy store schema change. You only have to import the new r6.0 SP6 policy store objects.
• If the SiteMinder r6.0 SP6 does not support the directory server or database functioning as the 6.x policy store, a new r6.0 SP6 policy store is required. The 6.x policy store data must be migrated to the new store. For more information, see How to Migrate a 6.x Policy Store.

Note: To determine if r6.0 SP6 continues to support your 6.x policy store, go to the Technical Support site and search for the SiteMinder Platform Matrix for 6.0.

Important! Before running a SiteMinder utility or executable on Windows Server 2008, open the command line window with Administrator permissions. Open the command line window this way, even if your account has Administrator privileges. For more information, see the release notes for your SiteMinder component.
