Hello Arun,

Thanks for your response, Looks like this for 8.0 to 8.1. Is it same for the 8.3 to 8.4 version as well or do we have any changes in this process just want to make sure.

Pretty much steps would be same .

@GutteStolt You can follow this document for ref:

IdentityIQ Upgrade Plan document template - Compass (sailpoint.com)

But In 8.4 you have to create separate database for Access History. In 8.4 Installation doc you will get these details.

Better to go on 8.4p1 rather than 8.4. It should be more stable then 8.4.

Let us know if you got stuck.

  • Take the backup of the database and IdentityIQ directory / Tomcat directory.
  • Download binaries from community identityiq-8.4.zip.

Hi All,

As i have mentioned we are planning for the IIQ upgrade. we have some E-Fix in the IIQ 8.3 for that do we need to perform any additional steps?.

Hi @GutteStolt,

You have to remove those E-fixes. Efixes are built for
a specific version and must be deleted when a new version is installed.

Hello Arun,

Where these E-fixes are located under the identityiq folder only?. As we are going to delete the identityiq folwer as part of upgrade at that it will be deleted?. Or else we need to delete it first?.

Thanks,
Shubham

@GutteStolt
Usually efixes will be under IIQHome/WEB-INF Folder, under this you will see e-fixes folder.

If you are completely having fresh IIQHome folder , this will be taken care automatically, unless this is copied again via any build process.

Hi @GutteStolt,

E-fixes are located in WEB-INF\efixes folder. You can remove from this location.

Arun

Hi All,

We have completed the below process

  • Take the backup of the database and IdentityIQ directory / Tomcat directory.
  • Download binaries from community identityiq-8.4.zip.
  • Stop application server.
  • Delete /tomcat/webapps/identityiq directory. Unzip identityiq-8.4.zip and copy identityiq.war to /tomcat/webapps/identityiq.

But we are stuck while extracting the file. getting below error. The 8.4 war file is located in download folders.

Did you add the jdk pin folder to the PATH in environment variable?

17

Hi Subham,
you can try Unzip identityiq-8.4.war as well i guess also check java path as well

Hi Prakash,

The identityiq-8.4 is already Unzip, the java path is upto date.

Thanks,
