IIQ migration to ISC insights

Identity Security Cloud (ISC) ISC Discussion and Questions

Hello Community,

I’m currently planning on a IIQ migration to ISC. I have been tasked with the following debatable request. Is using IIQ and ISC at the same time viable? We are looking into using ISC as a read-only IAM tool used for reports and Certification campaigns for the time being during migration. The requests made by ISC will be sent to IIQ. All provisioning tasks are going to be sent via API to IIQ. Have you ever done something similar? If so, why?
I feel that this is going to generate a lot of extra effort that only slows the process of migration. I think the first step would be to migrate all apps in sections, create the corresponding roles, access profiles as that would be the best approach in order to use the certification feature in ISC within ISC. In the meantime, iiq would be in use.

If anyone is going through something similar, I’ll gladly accept your insights on this topic,
Thank you,
Carol

Hi Carola,

Welcome to SailPoint Developer community.

Yes, we can do that. We did use ISC tenant migration due to rebranding, we were using old tenant till we completed the migration to new tenant.

I would not recommend this, as IIQ doesn’t have APIs as we have in ISC, I don’t say not possible but challenging and unnecessary additional work.

Absolutely, and it is unnecessary. Not a good idea to spend a lot of budget for a temporary work.

Yes, follow the steps here in the below post, it would be a good start.

I found your answer in another post as the link on your comment didn’t work, it was really helpful!
I also have some questions, have you ever used the SailPoint Migration tool? I don’t know at which extend I should plan for the migration or how to prepare if this tool is as helpful as it sounds. As ar as I know it can help with application migration, but as I know some apps will change to cloud version, and the structure within ISC for Access Modelling is not the same, some features may not be compatible with ISC. Should I expect the SailPoint migration tool to make these changes for me? or should I continue planning the migration as if I was starting from scratch? I tried looking into documentation about its capabilities and found none.
Thank you!

I have come to know about SailPoint Migration Tool during Navigate, London. I don’t think it is available for Public. You can check your CSM.

This migration tool will give you insights about your IIQ configurations, some analysis, not like migrating config from IIQ to IDN automatically.

If you have good knowledge on both IIQ and IDN products, then migration is no big deal. It is not about migrating every work you did in IIQ to IDN, some are not required even. For example LCM workflows, you can forget them.

IDN supports <20 Rules, where as IIQ has ~200 Rules. So, most of the Rules will be converted to Transforms.

You can use same IQ service from IIQ, no changes required.
