Step 1: Plan a Recovery Strategy

Before upgrading the SAML Affiliate Agent, implement a recovery plan that lets you return to your original configuration if the upgrade fails.

The best strategy is to make copies of the AffiliateConfig.xml file, the affiliateserverconf.properties file, and the AM.keystore to have as a back up.
