To begin with the migration, you must first review the following considerations:
Your current Identity Manager version.
Your existing auditing configuration, that is, whether auditing is enabled or disabled.
NOTE:Auditing with NAudit and XDAS is discontinued from Identity Manager 4.8 release. If your auditing format type is not configured as CEF, then you may lose the audit events during migration to CEF format in Identity Manager 4.8.
The following table provides procedures to help you with the migration to CEF format. Select the procedure from this list depending on your current Identity Manager version and the existing auditing configuration.
