Guy,

Is this related to your previous post about the migrate utility? If yes, I'm sure that someone will respond. BTW, I never have any problems migrating basedir, etc. other than the fact that the migrate filename is not what is in the book. You might want to open a case on this one.

Are you talking about ibi\apps directory? If yes and on the same platform, you don't have to migrate it. If on another platform, just copy the directory structure.

thanks for the update. I am not a great expert for wfs. I just have to install/configure and migrate applications.
So far all is going well. But anyhow a new question.
User application/reports are still pointing to old machine and pages are launched from that system. In the mean time, all has been moved to new machine and datasource has been moved also
Is there any possibility to have a global change for pages source / datasource, or do we have to change each application individually to modify the server and datasource
Any document to recommend ?
Tkanks for all info
best regards, guy przytula

We ran into this the past. The resolution was to create an alias for the web server name. For a global change, you could write a Unix or Perl script to change everything to use the alias. Then if and when you move to yet another box, you will not have to change again.

The only problem will be the bookmarks/favorites that folks have saved. That just takes many emails describing the problem and asking the users to change their bookmarks. And you will go prod and folks will still not have done it and wonder why their bookmarks don't work anymore. Trust me, I know from experience.

As for the datasources, do you mean that you changed datasource names as well?

There is no document. All of this is site-specific.

thanks for the update, but we still have a concern
you say : create a script to change .. but which file contains the default settings for server/data..

I start host:8080/approot/index.html and this listed correctly all applications I copied from old to new server in defined context approot
when expanding an application we see ..htm files available, but when selecting a htm file, we always get http status 404 /approot/subdir/xx.htm which is the correct file
the context for approot was defined and accessible from tomcat manager
but the files in the subdirectories of applications are not accessible
do we have to define more to have tomcat know the subdirs or any idea what is wrong ?
Thanks for all update/help

You can use Unix commands like find and grep and search all the files to find out which ones need to be changed. You can pipe the output to a file and then input this file into a change script.
