Rename Deployment server

Dear folks,
Few questions for all you experts:-
1. Is it possible to rebuild the Deployment server with a different name?
2. If yes, does anybody have a consolidated list of tables where this name
will have to be replaced with the new one?
3. Any gotchas?

We are on b7331/Oracle/Unix.

thanks in advance

I've never changed the name of my deployment server but if you want to find
everywhere the name exist have your DBA whip you up a script to scan entire
table sets looking through each field for the name. My DBA did something for
me like this and it works great for things like this.

Shashank,
Here is what I did to change the deployment server. My clients deployment
server died and we needed to rebuild it and at the same time they decided to
change the name. It is a lot more work if you have to change the name.



Changing the name of your deployment server

Procedure
1. Perform a complete tape backup of your original deployment server and
verify that you can restore from this tape
2. Back up your SQL Server or Oracle database, if one exists on the
deployment server, to tape.
3. Change your OneWorld data sources to point to the database on the new
deployment server, do this from a client workstation. Do this step only if
you have a database on the deployment server.
4. Back your database, on the deployment server, off to tape and verify the
tape.
5. Install SQL Server or Oracle on your new deployment server. (See
JDEdward’s Installation manual for database settings)
6. Either restore your database from tape, obtained in step 4, onto the new
deployment server or import all the tables through the database’s table copy
tool. Consult your DBA on the best approach for your situation. NOTE:
When copying tables with SQL Server’s table copy tool you will find that it
does not bring over the passwords for the users in SQL. You must modify the
login passwords.
7. Verify database is up and running, i.e. you can connect to, perform
select statements over this new database, and have permissions to the
tables.
8. Install 3rd party products, such as client access, C++….(See Technical
Requirements for a deployment server in your install manual)
9. Install OneWorld from the setup CD. You will need to call contracts and
get a new security code. This step updates your new deployment server’s
registry with the necessary OneWorld entries.
10. Using the tape backup obtained in step 1, restore the complete OneWorld
directory structure to the same drive that you installed OneWorld onto the
new deployment server from the setup CD. NOTE: Be sure that you overlay the
directory structure, which was installed by the setup CD or delete it and
then restore your old directory structure from tape to the same drive.
11. Share the B733 directory as B733
12. Modify your Install.inf under oneworld\b733\oneworld client install
directory to reflect your new deployment server.
13. Modify the Individual Package inf files under
oneworld\b733\PACKAGE_INF\packagename.inf to reflect your new deployment
server.
14. If you have installed OneWorld on a different drive from your previous
server, you must modify various inf files in your B733 directory. Go to
Windows Explorer, highlight your shared directory, and search on *.inf.
Examples are client.inf, security.inf, database.inf, sqlserver.inf, etc.
Note, you will not be able to edit any of your setup.inf files.
15. Modify the F00942, F00945, F983051, and F9861 tables to point to the new
deployment server. You would do this by running the following updates
against the following tables. YOU MUST DO THIS STEP WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE
DATABASE TABLES ON THE DEPLOYMENT SERVER.

(F00942)
update sysb732.f00942 set EMMKEY = ‘NEW MACHINE NAME’ where EMMKEY = ‘OLD
MACHINE NAME’

(F00945)
update sysb732.f00945 set RMMKEY = ‘NEW MACHINE NAME’ where RMMKEY = ‘OLD
MACHINE NAME’

(F983051)
update objb732.f983051 set VRMKEY = ‘NEW MACHINE NAME’ where VRMKEY = ‘OLD
MACHINE NAME’

(F9861)
Update objb732.f9861 set SIMKEY = ‘NEW MACHINE NAME’ where SIMKEY = ‘OLD
MACHINE NAME’

NEW MACHINE NAME = The name of your new deployment server
OLD MACHINE NAME = The name of your old deployment server

16. Log into OneWorld, on the new deployment server and choose the planner
environment. Go GH961 and select Installation Workbench. Select your plan
name and you should then be on the data source workbench. Highlight each
data source, one at a time, and go to row configure ODBC. Setup your ODBCs
to point to the new deployment server if necessary. This will update you
ODBCdatasource.inf file so the next time you deploy a new client their ODBC’
s will be setup correctly. Click close when you are finished.
17. Deploy a client and attempt to log into OneWorld.
18. If this client works and you are running SQL Server update all existing
client’s ODBCs to point to the correct deployment server. You will also
have make sure that their ini files point to the correct machine in the DB
Systems section of the client ini, this would apply if your system tables
reside on your deployment server.

Try this out!

Re: [Re: Rename Deployment server ]

I'm hoping you're swapping out the deployment server for a big, stronger,
faster. You'll keep more of your hair if you keep the deployment server name
the same during the swap.

If you absolutely have to change the name of it (why? oh! why?). You'll have
to address things like the following (not all inclusive).

F9861 SIMKEY
F983051 VRMKEY
F9651 MDMKEY
Install.inf in OW client install
All Package.infs references to UNC location
All HKLM\Software\JDEdwards\OneWorld\Install.ini >> Install Path values on
EVERY workstation (if UNC used which it should be).
JDE.INI on every workstation if HELPS on Deployment Server via UNC.
I think there's a package table in there as well. F96 something.

Believe me, you will rue the day. But if you must.. you must.
