Lyle, Export all the workflow. Make sure when you export, the checkbox for export as server independent is checked. This should remove workflow that is linked to the server.
It's not guaranteed as there could be some custom workflow that may some how reference the server. As Raj noted you can open the def file with notepad, wordpad, notepad++, etc and search for instances of the server name.

I just did something similar with HP-UX (Remedy V6.3). In my case, I hooked a new server into a servergroup (db was the same). Needed to change two items in the ar.conf file (IP addr and SERVERNAME entries), adjust the armonitor.conf file to reflect new servername and remove all licenses that were brought over from the prior server. Needed to have the /remedy and /etc/arsystem dir structures restored. Had to make sure the database name was in the tnsnames.ora file on the new server. We also had the source server hooked in a cluster (so the arsystem file in /remedy/<svrname>/bin also needed a modification since there was a servername embedded in that file. Once I did the above, the server came up in evaluation mode and I was able to apply the new licenses. One of the important things to look at is that the workflow in your ARS system needs to be server independent. If there are references to specific servers in your workflow, you'll need to clean the workflow to make it server independent. - pritch -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Axton Sent: Saturday, June 27, 2009 2:03 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Test System to Production System, Would Ghost Image work ? what is BMC recommendation?
