How to move RTC server data from one machine to another
I know the simplest way is just copy the RTC server folder to the other machine and start it for use. I've done this and seems it works for me well until now.
But do we have other ways to move the whole server data to another machine such as using repotools ? I mean I have 2 RTC servers and want to shutdown one of them and have all the project areas(with existing data) on it to run on the other server.
I tried "repotools -export toFile=export1.tar" on server1 then run "repotools -import fromFile=export1.tar" on server2. Seems all server1 data can be moved to server2 but all the users can't login. I was told that the users are not in server2's directory service. Not sure if "repotools -copy" can meet my requirements.
How do you do this kind of task? Just copy the whole RTC server folder to the new place?
Thanks!

Using repotools -export/-import is the right approach and that will copy
all of your Jazz data to the new repository. You user registry will not
be copied automatically. If you are using LDAP for user authentication
you need to be sure to configure your new server in the same way. If
you are using Tomcat you should be able to copy the tomcat-users.xml
file to your new server to preserve your users' logins.
