Moving from 10g or previous versions to Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.3.0), and migrating from Sun product to Oracle Identity and Access Management are considered as migration scenarios, and are covered in Oracle Fusion Middleware Migration Guide for Oracle Identity and Access Management.
If you have deployed Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.2.0) using the Life Cycle Management (LCM) Tools, then you must use the automated upgrade tool to upgrade your existing Oracle Identity and Access Management environment to 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.3.0).
For information about the automated upgrade process, topologies supported for upgrade, and the documentation roadmap, see Chapter 2, "Understanding the Oracle Identity and Access Management Automated Upgrade".
If you have configured Oracle Identity and Access Management using the Oracle Identity and Access Management Oracle Universal Installer and Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard, then you must use the manual upgrade procedure to upgrade your existing Oracle Identity and Access Management environment to 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.3.0).
For information about the manual upgrade process and the supported starting points, see Chapter 3, "Understanding the Oracle Identity and Access Management Manual Upgrade".
The term Migration refers to migrating 10g version of Oracle Identity and Access Management components, or Sun products to Oracle Identity and Access Management 11.1.2.3.0. During migration, you must install a new 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.3.0) Oracle Home (IAM_HOME) and then migrate your configuration data from your previous installation to the new 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.3.0) Oracle Home.
The following are migration scenarios supported for 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.3.0):
Migrating Oracle Access Manager 10g to Oracle Access Management 11.1.2.3.0
Migrating Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 10g to Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 11.1.2.3.0
Migrating Oracle Single Sign-On 10g to Oracle Access Management 11.1.2.3.0
Migrating Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 to Oracle Access Management 11.1.2.3.0
Migrating Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 to Oracle Access Management 11.1.2.3.0
Migrating Oracle Identity Federation to Oracle Access Management 11.1.2.3.0
Migrating the certifications of Oracle Identity Analytics to Oracle Identity Manager 11.1.2.3.0
During migration, you can have both the old and the new deployments coexisting, such that some applications are protected by the old server, and the others are protected by the new server. The coexistence mode allows you to have seamless single sign-on experience when you navigate between applications protected by different servers.
For example, Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 and Oracle Access Management Access Manager 11.1.2.3.0 servers can coexist and work together, so that the you have seamless single sign-on experience when you navigate between applications protected by Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 and Oracle Access Management Access Manager 11.1.2.3.0 Servers.
The following are the coexistence scenarios supported in 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.3.0):
Coexistence of Oracle Access Manager 10g with Oracle Access Management Access Manager 11.1.2.3.0
Coexistence of Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 with Oracle Access Management Access Manager 11.1.2.3.0
Coexistence of Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 with Oracle Access Management Access Manager 11.1.2.3.0
Note:
This guide does not cover the migration and coexistence scenarios.For information about the migration and coexistence scenarios supported for 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.3.0), see Oracle Fusion Middleware Migration Guide for Oracle Identity and Access Management.
