Hi All,
 I am doing Rehost of windchill 12.1 

1.  i have imported DB and LDAP

2. copied source windchill Directory including HTTP, WindchillDS everything 
3.Edited projects.property and rehost.property and ran the Rehost.sh command 
4. After i tried to start Windchill server i faced issue in Apache and Java location issues 

Is this the right way to do ??

If the methodserver cannot find the default administrator user, the methodserver will not start. It is likely that your target Windchill DS has a different base DN, meaning Windchill cannot find the admin user to auth during startup.

Hi @VR_10538993 

Yes. You just need to keep in mind, the instigator normally creates java path definition and others.

If you do not install the Windchill in the target system you need to defend it manually. 

 

The rehost script works.  in the past the Oracle DB needed redefinition of IP address in some config files.

Hi petr,

Thanks for the help, but i only understand half of it 

 I am facing issue now in JAVA_HOME path but in bashrc file it is correct, when i do windchill eval the path in  java_home is different from bashrc so that windhcill start is not working 

Do you know what can i do to start windchill ?

Earlier i faced issue in apache start in which source configured with SSO but in target i start windchill as HTTP then need to uncommand properties and files to disable SSO . Like this i am facing issues one by one 

can you say what i am doing is right ? if it is and what type of rehost am i doing ? eg:- manual rehost

Hi @VR_10538993 

I can't say what is wrong in your case. 

You didn't provide enough information.

I would advice to check a rehost guide where all scenarios are described..

also Manual Rehost Activities are described 

Rehost Utility Guide

 

hope this can help.
