Moving CMS To Another Server

[Dodecahedron]

Hi,

We are using BOE XI R2.

We want to move the CMS database from one server to another. Its a SQL database.

What apart from the ODBC would I need to change once this is done?

Thanks

There are several ways of doing this. The most efficient is to create a backup of your current datasource, then "restore" your new one from the backup of the old one. Then, just go in and stop your CMS, right-click on it and choose "properties," then go to the "configuration" tab. From there, specify your new datasource for the CMS and the audit DB (if applicable). Hit "OK" and start the service. You should be good to go.

The other option is to use the repository migration tool, just make sure you choose the version of BOE that you're on for both the source and destination- as you'll be using your old datasource for the source and new one for the destination.

These aren't the droids you're looking for.

Move along.

one other thing I should mention- ensure that the db account on the new server has identical access rights as the old.

Good luck!
