12.0 Upgrading Identity Governance

You can upgrade to Identity Governance 3.6 from Identity Governance 3.0.1 or later. The Identity Governance components run against Apache Tomcat and Zulu OpenJDK. To ensure that the Identity Governance components run against the supported versions of Apache Tomcat and Zulu OpenJDK, you must uninstall the old Identity Governance components, upgrade Apache Tomcat and Zulu OpenJDK, and then reinstall the current version of the Identity Governance components to complete the upgrade. As part of the upgrade process, you must also migrate data because some of the collector templates and database tables and views change between the releases of Identity Governance.

Upgrading to the latest Identity Governance version is a process of multiple tasks that you must follow. You must back up your current data, uninstall the version of the Identity Governance components you currently have installed, upgrade the required hardware and software, and then reinstall the current version of the Identity Governance components.

If you installed Identity Governance and Identity Reporting on the same server but you need to have Identity Reporting run on a separate server, an upgrade is the best time to move Identity Reporting to its own server to increase the performance of Identity Governance.

Use the following information to plan and perform the upgrade of the Identity Governance components.
