How to move Agile PLM 9.3.3 to a new server?
We are planning to move the Agile PLM 9.3.3 install to a new server. What are the steps involved? I tried searching the documents but did not find anything.
Treat it just like a new install, except that instead of starting with the default database, you need to import your current 9330 database.
Except of course, there are the details :
1) Before anything else, get the Keystore value from the database that was created when you installed Agile. Note that if you have not done this, and already imported a database over the database that was created during the installation, you *will* have to install Agile again to get that key value. I have attached an SQL script that will generate a script that you can use any time you import a database for this new server.
2) Import your current database into your new Oracle database server, and once that completes successfully, run the RestoreKeystore script so it has the correct keys to run the application on the new server.
3) Log into the Java client (using the correct URL) and change all of the URL references in the configuration (web client URL, Java client URL, LDAP server (if different), file server, vault location, etc.).
I am certain there may be a few other wrinkles I am missing, but this should get you up and running to be able to be accessed by most folks.
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the quick response. I haven’t created the database yet. We are planning to clone the source database to the new server.
Could you please let me know the script name? When I view the attached file it shows me multiple files with jpg and png extensions.
Thanks

Attached is a zipped version of the file. Doesn’t need the compression, but it should now be correct. Weird, no idea why that happened.
So you need to install Oracle and Weblogic on the server/cluster, then install Agile on your new server/cluster. As part of that, you create a database along the way that is empty except for a default configuration. Note down the URLs it gves you for the web and java clients. Then run the attached script against the database and make sure you have several copies of the generated script kept in dsafe places.
And yes, you then export/clone your current database into the new Oracle instance, run the script that was generated by the attached script on that database, and then start Agile. At that point you can start the Java client and make updates to the URLs in the database so that it works correctly.
