CLM 4.0.5
SQL Server Active Directory We would like to create a quick test environment to prepare for 5.0.2. We created a copy of our production CLM VM, and SQL DBs but are told we need to do a server rename before we start testing. (they created "test dbs", but I don't think they replicated the AD server). I looked at the following: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYMRC_5.0.2/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/t_prepare_staging_env.html But I don't think this has been updated, because now we have to consider the new RM database. The steps in the procedure, I am not sure if that is for Option 1, 2 or 3...from the beginning of the article. Any advice? |

Hi Mahari,
I see that there are a few outdated images in those pages, so I will create defects against the docs team. I think the RM procedure is more clearly specified here: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYMRC_5.0.2/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/c_upgrade_flow_clm.html Assuming you can isolate your test environment, then a server rename isn't necessary. If you do have to server rename, then the RM split from the JTS shouldn't impact the URI, just the backend storage location. Please let me know if I missed something, Paul Mahari Hill selected this answer as the correct answer
Comments Thanks for answering. Just to be clear.
You can not run a copy of the same server in the same environment. You can isolate some servers in the same environment if you use the hosts files on several machines to make sure the environments don't see each other. This is an option that is a scenario for 3. Complex and error prone. You have to isolate all machines, client, servers and DB servers. This would not require a duplicate LDAP server, as that could be shared.

Just to be sure. Options 1 and 2 in this document http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYMRC_5.0.2/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/t_prepare_staging_env.html

Mahari,
Please consult the following Flash (Alert) before undertaking a migration to 5.0.2 that include server rename:
