18.3 Upgrading Designer

NOTE:This release does not support upgrading Designer from an earlier version, so if you have an older version installed, you will need to uninstall it before installing Designer 4.10. Also, the built-in auto-update and offline update features cannot be used to upgrade to Designer 4.10.

  1. Log in as an administrator to the server where Designer is installed.

  2. To create a backup copy of your projects, export your projects.

    For more information about exporting, see Exporting a Project in the Designer Administration Guide for OpenText™ Identity Manager CE 24.4 (v4.10).

  3. To uninstall the current Designer version:

    1. Close Designer

    2. Navigate to the directory containing the uninstallation script. By default, it is located at <installation_directory>/designer/UninstallDesigner/Uninstall Designer for Identity Manager

    3. To execute the script, enter ./uninstall

  4. You can install Designer either in GUI or console mode.

    1. Download the Identity_Manager_4.10.0_Designer_Linux.tar.gz from the Software License and Download portal.

    2. Navigate to a directory where you want to extract the file.

    3. Run the following command:

      tar -zxvf Identity_Manager_4.10.0_Designer_Linux.tar.gz

    4. Run one of the following commands to install Designer.

      Console: ./install

      GUI: ./install -i console

    5. Follow the prompts and proceed with the installation.

  5. After Designer 4.10 is installed, you must import all Designer projects from the older version. When you initiate the import process, Designer runs the Project Converter Wizard, which converts the older projects to the current version. In the wizard, select Copy project into the workspace. For more information about the Project Converter, see Converting Earlier Projects in the Designer Administration Guide for OpenText™ Identity Manager CE 24.4 (v4.10).
