8.1 Planning to Upgrade Identity Governance

As you plan your upgrade, keep in mind the following considerations:

  • Only review owners and administrators can view in Identity Governance the review runs that were completed in a previous version. If you have reporting installed, you can run reports before you upgrade to capture these details and make them available to other users after the upgrade.

  • Open fulfillment requests will be available after the upgrade.

  • Before you upgrade, make a note of the values for the following settings. The installation process fails to restore or adversely modifies these settings:

    Location of settings

    All settings in the following areas:
