Upgrade Plan:

For identity manager and provisioning components

 

Step 1: Shut down the environment to a complete halt. At this point, no new information should be read/written or updated in the environment.

 

Step 2: Review the "Before You upgrade" section under

Step 3: Review upgrade prerequisite information

Step 4: Review the upgrade worksheet: to record the relevant information for each component of your deployment.
