10.5 Transfer the UniField Instance From One Computer to Another.
- The project is small, so I have had UniField on a computer that is not very powerful, but now the project is going to grow. How can I transfer my instance from one computer to the other?
-
- You ask all the users to stop working on the instance (or you cut the instance from the network).
- You need to backup the database and the following configuration files:
- openerp-server.conf in C:\Program Files (x86)\msf\Unifield\Server
- openerp-web-oc.cfg in C:\Program Files (x86)\msf\Unifield\Web\conf
- copy the directory “C:\Program Files (x86)\msf\SSH_CONFIG” to the new computer
- pg_hba.conf and postgresql.conf in D:\MSF data\Unifield\PostgreSQL
- You need to install UniField on the new computer.
- You restore the configuration files from the old instance on the new instance.
- Generate a new base backup (continuous-backup procedure)
- You reboot the computer.
- You restore the database using the UniField password from the old instance.
- You login as an admin and enter the synchronization password.
- You connect the instance to the synchronization server.
The new instance keeps its old instance ID and thus is already validated at synchronization server side. The users can now continue with their work.
If the UniField machine gets its IP address from a DHCP server, you may consider updating the latter as the machine is different, so is its MAC address.
