Hi Listers,

Has anyone uncovered all server name references that need to be replaced
when doing a DB backup/restore to migrate an ARS/ITSM 7 DB to another
server? I've seen a few postings on this but can't find anything
complete. 
All KB entries regarding server name changes appear to be really
outdated.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Copy ARS Server with ITSM 7 thru database copy?

Let me summarize what you guys said so far about
copying ITSM 7 from one server to another one:

(1)Copying the file system from one server to another
one is a bad idea. Ok. I was not planning on doing
this. Only want to copy the database, after I install
all the software on the new server.

(2)After I install all the applications, and copy the
database to the new server, I need to:
a)Update path to help files
b)Update SHR:Application records. I see the server
references to update on this form's records.
c)Update CAI:Application Registry records. I see the
server references on this form's records, so I will
update them.
d)Need to update Configure "Custom Form Info" form
records. I can't find this form. Probably an alias.
What's the actual form name?
e)Update "Email form", meaning "AR System Email
Configuration" form recrods. I can't find server
reference on this form. Are you guys talking about a
different form?
f)Need to reinstall EIE and AIE after database copy.
"To make EIE work after moving databases, read the
note on how to configure EIE on a server group or a
shared database." EIE=Event Integration Engine,
AIE=Assignment Engine?
g)May need to update User and "People" (CTM:People)
forms. I can't find server name references here, but I
guess I need to fix the license information.

Is that it? It can't be that easy! May be it is.

I will then need to spend some more time modifying
some parameters in Server Info tab on Remedy Admin as
well as ar.conf to account for the fact that I may
want the new server to behave differently (in my case
no server group setup).

I'm trying to see if I can somehow do a database query
to see which tables have my server name embedded. If I
find anything new I will share with you guys. 

In the mean time, please validate or add to the list
above.

Wondering if there is any white paper on this. The
likely answer is no. Or, if the partner implementation
trainings covers such a copy, or any other way of
copying apps. If not, that's an inexcusable omission.
Or so I think.

Regards.
