Project move to another server

Post by deepak.hsbc »

Part of data center separation,We are moving everything from server_old to server_new and this is what I am doing -

1)Copying all file system from server_old to server_new.
2)Starting the engine on server_new
3)Verified everything okay and permissions are all good
4)I am able to log-in and run the jobs,no issues reported.

Everything is fine upto this part and I dont think any additional steps are needed here.

But,When i log in to the DS version control and i select "Project window" a window show up and i put credientials of server_new and after login it still takes me the project window of server_old .This is strange and I am not able to get rid of this.

I searched and tried many option like
REINDEX ALL,VERIFY.SQL,CLEAN.FILE etcd..in fact I did everything that i found here.

I noted one thing,when i LOGTO PROJECT and select * from uv.account i see the entry of server_old..this is strange !!

Any pointers ?

And, in short, you didn't understand what you were doing.

This is not the correct procedure for moving to a new server. By copying all file system objects, you are preserving all entries that refer to the old server (as you discovered).

The correct procedure is to export all projects, install and configure Information Server on the new server, create the projects afresh there, import all projects (the ones you want to keep, anyway), then uninstall from the old server.

There are some files you do need to move manually; which ones will depend on which export tool you've used and whether you created directories within projects for Information Server Manager to manage.
