Making the move from iManager 1.5. x is more accurately described as a migration than an update. You must migrate Role-Based Services (RBS) objects and tasks.
After you install iManager 2.6 on your server or Mobile iManager (see Section 1.0, Installing iManager), the RBS objects in your eDirectory™ tree must be migrated to the iManager 2.6 format. Do this by using the new RBS Configuration task in iManager 2.6.
To access the migration task:
Create a 2.6 collection so that you can migrate the 1.5. x collections to it. For more information, see in the iManager 2.6 Administration Guide.
In the iManager Configure view, click > .
If no collections are listed on the 2. x Collections tabbed page, click > , then follow the online instructions.
Click the tab.
The 1. x Collections page displays all of your 1.5. x collections that can be migrated to 2.6.
Select the collection you want to migrate, then click at the top of the table.
Select the 2. x collection you want to migrate to, then click .
After the migration is complete, the 1. x collection is still intact in your eDirectory tree. If you have no further use for it, you can delete it from within iManager 2.6.
(Optional) To delete a 1. x collection, click the tab, select the collection you want to delete, then click at the top of the table.
The RBS migration wizard does not migrate custom tasks created in iManager 1. x to version 2.6 tasks. You have two options for moving your 1.5. x custom tasks into iManager 2.6:
You can re-create them by using the Plug-in Studio in iManager 2.6. In the Configure view, click > > .
You can use the Custom Task Migration utility to migrate your 1.5. x tasks to 2.6 tasks.
The Custom Task Migration utility can be downloaded from the Novell Support Web site. A Readme file inside the download explains how to use it. If you have no custom tasks or content, you do not need to run the Custom Task Migration utility.
