8 Upgrading the Flat File Connector
If you have already deployed the 11.1.1.5.0 version of this connector, then you can upgrade the connector to the current version 12.2.1.3.0.
Note:
- The connector upgrade from version 11.1.1.5.0 to 12.2.1.3.0 is only supported in the CI-based mode.
-
Before you perform the upgrade, it is strongly recommended that you create a backup of the Oracle Identity Manager database. Refer to the database documentation for information about creating a backup.
-
As a best practice, first perform the upgrade procedure in a test environment.
8.1 Preupgrade Steps
Preupgrade steps for the connector involves performing a reconciliation run to fetch records from the target system, defining the source connector in Oracle Identity Manager, creating copies of the connector if you want to configure it for multiple installations of the target system, and disabling all the scheduled jobs.
Perform the following preupgrade steps:
- Perform a reconciliation run to fetch all latest updates to Oracle Identity Manager.
- Perform the preupgrade procedure documented in Managing Connector Lifecycle in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle Identity Manager.
- Disable all the scheduled jobs.
