8.1 Preupgrade Steps

Preupgrade steps involve performing a reconciliation run, defining the source, running the Delete JARs utility and connector preupgrade utility.

Before you perform an upgrade operation or any of the upgrade procedures, you must perform the following actions:

• Perform the preupgrade procedure documented in Managing Connector Lifecycle in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle Identity Manager.
• Perform a reconciliation run to fetch all latest updates to Oracle Identity Manager.
• Define the source connector (an earlier release of the connector that must be upgraded) in Oracle Identity Manager. You define the source connector to update the Deployment Manager XML file with all customization changes made to the connector.
• If required, create the connector XML file for a clone of the source connector.
• Disable all scheduled tasks.
• Run the Oracle Identity Manager Delete JARs utility to delete the old connector bundle to the Oracle Identity Manager database.
• Run the connector preupgrade utility.
