Products missing after Rehost

Products missing after Rehost

Hi all,

we created a test system and tried to rehost our production system (Windchill 10.2 M030 CPS03).

It worked fine with the user data (LDAP import successful) but we are missing all our products and objects. We can only see the newly created product.

Please see attached screenshot.

Does anyone have a hint what could have gone wrong during rehosting? Did anyone experience the same behavior?

Thanks in advance!

Benjamin

The fact that Windchill starts up successfully makes me think the Rehost utility worked fine.  I really question if the database was imported correctly.  The Rehost utility doesn't make changes to existing products or libraries.  It's basically changing server names, file paths, passwords, etc.  If the rehosted system fires up correctly, then what you see when you log it is what exists in the database.

Are you allowed access directly to the database?  If so, try querying for the products and libraries:

select * from PDMLinkProduct

select * from WTLibrary

Did you copy your production database to your test system (and import it) before running the Rehost utility?

Expdp and impdp were called during the rehosting.

We did the following steps:

  1. export ldap
  2. import ldap
  3. expdp
  4. impdp
  5. copy vaults

What version of the Rehost utility are you using?

Are you positive the database import actually worked?  (Maybe do a row count on a few of the larger tables and make sure they agree with production.)

I'm assuming you ran the other required Rehost tasks after step 5 above - InfoEngine, Apache, Database, and Vault...

RehostingUtility 10.2 M010 it is.

And yes, we ran the other tasks afterwards.

Maybe you can find the answer

I don't see the database export and import tasks listed.  Do you run those manually before running the Rehost tool?  Maybe you could share your projects.properties file.

Yes, we did run expdp and impdp before starting the Rehosting Utility.

Projects.properties:

# This file is used to define sets of tasks to be run in sequence.

# Property rehost.useCase in rehost.properties should be set to match the

#   property name listing the desired set of tasks.

# These tasks should be run with Apache and the Windchill MethodServer stopped, and the database running:

# * Apache: Propagate Apache configuration changes

# * ChangeHome: Update Windchill and Apache for a new location - the Apache task needs to run afterwards to propagate the Apache changes

# * Cluster: Update Windchill properties specific to a clustered environment

# * ContainerTemplate: Copy container templates to a stubbed vault to allow it to be used in Upgrade testing

# * Copy: Copy files from staging to target location - needs to be run first for new environments

# * Database: Update Windchill's database connection

# * InfoEngine: Update Windchill's LDAP server connection(s), and update LDAP properties

# * QueueMgmt: Stop, start, or clear queues

# * Script: Allows for user defined tasks

# * Solr: Update Solr settings

# * Vault: Update FileVault configuration, and copy vault content

# * WVSAgent: Update WVS agent configuration

# * WVSWorker: Update WVS worker configuration

# This task should be run after copying lib/wcRehost.jar to <Windchill_Home>/lib/ then starting Apache, and the Windchill MethodServer

# * SelectiveContent: Copies selected vault content to the new location

# These are the standard sets of tasks for these functions:

# rename=InfoEngine,Database,Apache

# rehost=InfoEngine,Database,Apache,Vault

# clone=Copy,InfoEngine,Database,Apache

# move=Copy,ChangeHome,InfoEngine,Apache

rehost.firstrun=Vault,InfoEngine,Apache,Database

Hi guys,

thanks for all the help and hints! We solved the issue 😉

I was a little bit confused by my own rehosting. Tom's hint lead us to the solution.

We run the selects and found out that there are 60 products in production system, but only one(!) in our test system.

We saw that there are two different users on the test database. PDMLINK and ORAUSER. So we connected as the other user and the select returned 60 products. So we changed the db.properties and fixed some "FILENAMEUSN_SEQ" and "STREAMID_SEQ" errors and voilá: Windchill was up and running 😄

Again, thanks for all!

Hopefully PTC is reading this...

I absolutely love what the Re-host utility brings to the table - and applaud PTC for developing it.  I've finally become relatively expert using it.

But, the documentation is extremely hard to follow.  It takes extreme perseverance to be able to get from the documentation what to actually do and how to do it.  The people writing it really tried - you can see that.  Just needs some more attention actually sitting with someone trying to follow it.  There is so much in the guide about the advanced functionality (e.g. scripting) but it's very hard to get to the point where a very bare-bones basic re-host process is working.

Mike - It is being read and passed along 🙂

Tom Uminn‌ thanks for your work.

Best,

Toby
