Anybody moved a repository?

[ADB1]

Has anybody had experience of moving a repository? If so, is it as easy as copy and pasting the oracle db we have as the repository onto our new server?

How do the business objects keys work? What do I have to do to re-point the users at the new server?

Thanks in advance.

Adam.

HI Moving the repository created in Oracle DB should be a straight forward exercise. Use the Oracle import/export utility to move the repository table/data to the new database.
after the data has been moved run supervisor module. Click in the admin button and choose recover bomain option. In the connection string mention the new database name and schema. This will create the new bomain.key file. distribute the new bomain.key file to all the user to update their PC and also the server incase you have WebI installed.

Don't forget!

You MUST also go into your new repository and use Tools -> Repository to repoint your domains to the new environment. If you don't do this, you'll end up with cross-linked repositories. There is not way to recover from this.
