For this you have to follow an installation method of rehosting or else you will have find out all the folder structure references from Windows to Unix. On a high level these are the steps.
- Install Windchill 9.1 with same datecode, patch set and configuration as your original installation. I guess you will still be able to obtain CDs from PTC.Use a dummy Oracle database for this.
- Export the LDIF from Aphelion or Windchill DS(post 9.1 M030) and import it to Aphelion/WindchillDS installed in Linux.
- Copy the vaults directory to Linux.
- Run the ant -f rehost script, this will update the host name references in LDAP.(applicable only if you are updating the hostname)
cd Windchill/bin/adminTools/rehosting
ant “-Dtarget-ldap=ldap:// cn=manager:passwd@newservername.example.com/” –Dtarget-domain=newservername.example.com
6. Update the db.properties to switch from dummy database to new database. wt.pom.dbHost, instance name, username, password and all.
7. Then update the database reference to new hostname
Update Repository set lastKnownDomain='newservername.example.com' where local=1;
8. Given that all the above steps are done, you should be able to bring the server up. Now you can update the File vault settings from Vault server administrator.
