Hi all,

I wanted to ask if you can tell me the steps for a proper rehost.

I would do it without rehost utility

I read the guide, but I would like to understand it better.

Thank you so much!

  1. Copy over the loadpoint ptc\Windchill_X.X and vaults  to the new server.
  2. Create database user, import the database from source
  3. Update the repository table in the database to reflect the new server and domain name
  4. Update the LDAP config branch using ant script
  5. Update the host name references Windchill config files using the same ant script #4
  6. Update database references in db.properties
  7. If the passwords are different, update them
  8. Update the hostname references in Apache
  9. Update the vault references and re-mount the vaults.

    Why do you want to do it without the Rehost Utility?

    It can be done, I used to do it all the time, before the Utility became good enough to work.

     

    The steps will vary per your installation.

    Baiscally they are:

    1. Install OOTB target DB and Windchill
    2. Make sure it works
    3. Dump Oracle and WindchillDS databases from source
    4. Copy vaults
    5. Import WindchillDS
    6. Drop user in Oracle with SQL
    7. Import Oracle dump
    8. Configure the sodtwrae for your new hardware addresses and names (This is where the Rehost Utility does the work for you)

    I try to explain the situation I have: (sorry for my English)

    I have a production server with Windchill 10.1 M040 that will need to be upgraded to version 11 M030. But first I have to run a machine rehost with windchill 10.1 on the new server and then upgrade.
