Note

  • When upgrading Identity Manager, you do not have to install Updates (formerly called Service Packs or SPs) within a major release to upgrade to the next major release. For example, when upgrading from Identity Manager 5.0 to 6.0, you do not have to install any of the 5.0 Service Packs.
  • Updates for a major release are cumulative. After upgrading to the major release, you can install the latest Update without having to install all of the Updates (or Service Packs) for that release. For example, if you upgraded to Identity Manager 5.0, installing SP6 gives you all of the functionality provided in SP1 through SP5.

Updates to the Identity Manager documentation are provided as follows:
