Task Assignments Upgrade Overview

Upgrading Oracle Identity Manager Environment 13-11

13.2.3 Running OSI Data Upgrade Utility

You must run the OSI Data Upgrade utility for Oracle Identity Manager 9.1 before you start the upgrade process. To do so, refer to the note 1303215.1 at https:support.oracle.com .

13.2.4 Running Schedule Task to Process the Audit Messages

Oracle recommends you to run the Issue Audit Messages Task schedule task to process pending audit messages for Oracle Identity Manager 9.1.

13.2.5 Emptying JMS queues

You must empty the JMS queues to ensure that the JMS messages are processed before you start the upgrade. To do so, complete the following:

1. Disable access by end-users, SPML, or API clients to Oracle Identity Manager. The

steps to do this will depend on your existing environment. For example, you can modify the firewall configuration to deny end-users access to Oracle Identity Manager or if you have fronted the Oracle Identity Manager application server with a Oracle HTTP server then you can shutdown the Oracle HTTP server but ensure that the application server is up and running. Any SPML or API clients For example, Active Directory Password Synch or any custom clients can be shutdown.

2. Disable all scheduled tasks using the Design Console. For more information, see

Oracle Identity Manager Design Console Guide.

3. Monitor the JMS queues and allow Oracle Identity Management to run for some

time, until all JMS queues except error queues e.g. xlErrorQueue, are empty.

4. Stop the Oracle Identity Manager 9.1. Depending on the application server you

use, see the Oracle Identity Management Release 9.1.0.1 documentation library for more information.

13.2.6 Circular Dependencies for Approval Workflow

Oracle Identity Manager 11g does not support circular dependencies for approval workflow where a approval task you create for example task1 response to another approval task for example task2, and task2 response is set to task1. Before you start the upgrade process, you must remove task2 from the response generated tasks in task1 using the Design Console. For more information, see Oracle Identity Manager Design Console Guide.
