Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.1 Migration Guide

ProcedureTo install the Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0 components:

  1. Install Identity Synchronization for Windows Core. For more information, see Installing Core in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.1 Installation Guide.

  2. Execute idsync prepds against Directory Server to update the schema.

    • On Solaris type the following commands.

      cd /opt/SUNWisw/bin
      idsync prepds arguments\
    • On Windows type the following commands.

      cd serverRoot\isw-hostname\bin
      idsync prepds arguments\

    For more information about idsync prepds, see Appendix A, Using the Identity Synchronization for Windows Command Line Utilities, in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.1 Installation Guide.

  3. Import your version 1.1, and 1.1 SP1, configuration XML file by typing the following command.

    idsync importcnf arguments\

    Note –

    If the program detects errors in your input configuration file, an error results. Identity Synchronization for Windows aborts the importcnf process and provides the necessary information to correct errors.

    For more information about using idsync importcnf , see Using importcnf in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.1 Installation Guide


  4. Install the Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0 Connectors. For more information, see Installing Connectors in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.1 Installation Guide.

  5. If you did not select the Configure Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0 Directory Server Plug-in option while installing Directory Server connector, configure it now. For more information, see Appendix A, Using the Identity Synchronization for Windows Command Line Utilities, in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.1 Installation Guide.

  6. Stop Identity Synchronization for Windows services (daemons) as described in Starting and Stopping Services in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.1 Installation Guide.

  7. On Windows NT only, complete the following steps.

    1. Stop the NT Change Detector service by typing the following command.

      net stop “Sun Java(TM) System NT Change Detector”
    2. Restore the NT Change Detector Service counters.

      1. Open the Registry Editor by executing regedt32.exe.

      2. Select the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE window.

      3. Navigate to the SOFTWARE\\Sun Microsystems\\Sun Java(TM) System Identity Synchronization for Windows\\1.1 node.

      4. Double-click on each of the following entries to restore their values (which you saved prior to uninstalling version 1.1).

        • HighestChangeNumber

        • LastProcessedSecLogRecordNumber

        • LastProcessedSecLogTimeStamp

        • QueueSize

    3. Start the NT Change Detector service by typing the following command.

      net start “Sun Java(TM) System NT Change Detector”
  8. Remove the version 6.0 persist and etc directories (and all their contents) from the instance directory and restore the version 1.1, and 1.1 SP1, persist and etc directories you backed up in Preparing for Migration.

    • On Solaris, type the following command.

      cd /var/opt/SUNWisw 
      rm -rf etc persisttar xf /var/tmp/connector-state.tar
    • On Windows, type the following command.

      cd serverRoot\isw-hostname
      rd /s etc persist%JAVA_HOME%\\bin\\jar -xf %TEMP%\\ connector-state.jar

      Alternatively, use any archive program for Windows, such as WinZip.

  9. Start the service and the synchronization.

    1. Start the Identity Synchronization for Windows service as described in Starting and Stopping Services in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.1 Installation Guide.

    2. Start synchronization as described in Starting and Stopping Synchronization in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.1 Installation Guide.

  10. Check the central audit log to verify that there are no warning messages.


    Note –

    If you have customized the version 1.1 log settings, you must manually apply those customizations to your version Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0 installation. Use the Identity Synchronization for Windows Console to configure your log settings.
