This process is useful in many situations, for example, initial proof of concept is completed and production installation needs to be done on different Server and Database.

These steps are provided as guidelines and extreme care must be taken during such migrations.

Export-Import Database

• If you aren’t using the same Database, clone it to the new location.

Copy the entire FlexDeploy Home, Artifacts folder, and Application folder from the old server to the new one.

If the database url, name, or password has changed, update context.xml.

If the Java Home has changed, update setenvoverride.sh.

If the Java Home on the source server had some certificates in it, copy them to the target Java Home.

Final configuration and start server

• Now start target FlexDeploy and validate it.

• Update System Settings as appropriate.

  • Change FD_SERVER_BASE_URL.

  • Update email settings if needed.
