4.2 Upgrade Procedure

The driver upgrade process involves upgrading the installed driver packages and updating the driver files.

4.2.1 Upgrading the Driver

If you are running the driver on the Identity Manager server, the driver shim files are updated when you update the server unless they were not selected during custom installation. If you are running the driver on another server, the driver shim files are updated when you update the Remote Loader on the server. For detailed instructions, see Upgrading the Identity Manager Drivers in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide.

4.2.2 Upgrading the Installed Packages

  1. Download the latest available packages.

    To configure Designer to automatically read the package updates when a new version of a package is available, click Windows > Preferences > NetIQ > Package Manager > Online Updates in Designer. However, if you need to add a custom package to the Package Catalog, you can import the package .jar file. For more information about creating custom packages, see Developing Packages in the NetIQ Designer for Identity Manager Administration Guide.

  2. Upgrade the installed packages.

    1. Open the project containing the driver.
