3.8 Upgrading from Open Enterprise Server 1 to Open Enterprise Server 2

When you upgrade from Open Enterprise Server (OES) 1 to OES 2 with Identity Manager 3.5.1 (IDM) installed on your OES server, you encounter package conflicts that must be resolved. A pop-up message appears immediately before the Installation Settings screen. The message informs you that the Delete Unmaintained Packages option is selected under Update Options. OES 2 considers IDM an “unmaintained package.” This means that, by default, your IDM software will be deleted as part of the upgrade process. To prevent IDM from being deleted, follow the instructions below:

  1. Read the pop-up warning carefully, then click OK to close it.

    NOTE:The pop-up describes three possible actions you can take to resolve the IDM status as an unmaintained package. This procedure steps you through the second of the three possible actions. This alternative works most efficiently for preserving your IDM installation.

  2. On the Packages page, select Search in the Filter field.

  3. Search for the IDM packages that are installed on the server by typing 

    novell-DXML

    in the Search field. Click Search.

    Depending on what IDM packages are installed on the server, the search results include some or all of the following packages: 

    novell-DXMLadeng
novell-DXMLavpbx
nobell-DXMLbase
novell-DXMLcmpsr

  4. Right-click on the first IDM package in the list, and select All in this List > Keep.

    This changes the status of each IDM package from Delete to Keep.

  5. Select Search in the Filter field again and type 

    novell-NOVLjvml

    NOTE:This package does not appear in the first search.

  6. Right-click on this package and select Keep.

  7. Click Accept on the Packages page.

  8. If you are presented with a font License Agreement, click Accept.

  9. Click Continue to return to the Installation Settings page.

  10. Verify that the package conflict message is now gone from under the Packages link, then continue with the upgrade process.
