Step 2: Document Your Identity Manager Installation

To determine the best upgrade path, use the worksheets provided in Chapter 7, Assessment Worksheets to inventory the components of your current Identity Manager installation.

The following sections describe methods for collecting this information:

• Identity Manager Version

• Identity Manager Assessment Tools

Identity Manager Version

To verify the version number of your current Identity Manager installation, use the Identity Manager Console .

1. From the command line, type:

   lh console

2. To display the Identity Manager version number, type:

   version

Identity Manager Assessment Tools

Identity Manager provides the following utilities to list and record your installation information:

• installed Utility: Searches the $WSHOME/bin directory for manifests and provides version information for releases, patches, service packs, and hotfixes.

• inventory Utility: Inspects the file system for files that were added to or deleted from the system, using files that are packaged in the release. This utility determines which files were changed based on the manifest that shipped with Identity Manager.

To access the installed and inventory utilities, follow these steps:

1. Open a command window and change directories to $WSHOME/bin.

2. At the prompt, execute the following command:

   ./lh assessment

3. At the prompt, type one of the following commands:

   • installed [option] [option]...

   • inventory [option] [option]...

The following tables describe the options that you can use with the installed and inventory utilities.
