14.3 Changing Server-Specific Information

You must change all server-specific information that is stored in each driver to the new server’s information. The server-specific information is contained in:

You can do this in Designer or iManager. If you use Designer, it is an automated process. If you use iManager, it is a manual process. You should use iManager if you are migrating from an Identity Manager server earlier than 3.5 version to an Identity Manager server greater than or equal to 3.5. For all other supported migration paths, you can use Designer.

14.3.1 Changing the Server-Specific Information in Designer

The procedure affects all drivers stored in the driver set.

  1. In Designer, open your project.

  2. In the Outline tab, right-click the server, then select Migrate.

  3. Read the overview to see what items are migrated to the new server, then click Next.

  4. Select the target server from the list available servers, then click Next.

    The only servers listed are servers that are not currently associated with a driver set and are equal to or newer than the source server’s Identity Manager version.

  5. Select Make the target server active.

    There are three options, but Make the target server active is recommended.

    • Make the target server active: Copies the settings from the source server to the target server and disables the drivers on the source server.

    • Keep the source server active: Does not copy the settings and disables all drivers on the target server.

    • Makes both target and source servers active: Copies settings from the source server to the target server without disabling the drivers on the source or target servers. This option is not recommended. If both drivers are started, the same information is written to two different queues and this can cause corruption.

  6. Click Migrate.

  7. Deploy the changed drivers to the Identity Vault.

    For more information, see Deploying a Driver to an Identity Vault in the Designer 4.0 for Identity Manager 4.0 Administration Guide.

  8. Start the drivers.

    For more information, see Section 13.13, Starting the Drivers.

14.3.2 Changing the Server-Specific Information in iManager

  1. In iManager, click Search icon to display the Identity Manager Administration page.

  2. Click Identity Manager Overview.

  3. Browse to and select the contain that holds the driver set.

  4. Click the driver set name to access the Driver Set Overview page.

  5. Click the upper right corner of the driver, then click Stop driver.

  6. Click the upper right corner of the driver, then click Edit properties.

  7. Copy or migrate all server-specific driver parameters, global configuration values, engine control values, named passwords, driver authentication data, and driver startup options that contain the old server’s information to the new server’s information. Global configuration values and other parameters of the driver set, such as max heap size, Java settings, and so on, must have identical values as those of the old server.

  8. Click OK to save all changes.

  9. Click the upper right corner of the driver to start the driver.

  10. Repeat Step 5 through Step 9 for each driver in the driver set.
