Migrating to IBM Security Identity Manager Version 7.0.1.13

You can migrate an earlier version of the IBM Security Identity Manager to a newer version so that the new environment is identical to the earlier environment.

Before you begin

In IBM Tivoli® Identity Manager Version 5.1, back up the itimKeystore.jceks file from ITIM_HOME/data/keystore/. For example, from /opt/ibm/itim/data/keystore/.
