Test Server - Server Rename question


Mahari Hill (4861184230) | asked Oct 14 '16, 7:53 a.m.
All,

I have a test server and prod server. I took a copy of the prod DBs and put them on a test DB server. I copied the prod installation directory of CLM502 and put it on the test server. I changed the hosts on the test server to think it's prod. I finally changed the teamserver.properties on the test server to point to the test DBs.

Is this all I need to:

Launch and test connecting to the copied DB
Then follow the steps to do a server rename
Test the upgrade?

I ask because I followed these instructions:
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSYMRC_6.0.2/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/t_prepare_staging_env.html

BUT,  then I found that there are more complete "pre-server rename" instructions here that seem similar:
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSYMRC_6.0.2/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/t_change_server_name.html

It looks like I would be doing similar steps...Do I need to start over?

2. Restore databases.
b. Copy indexes and settings from production to test server.
c. Copy mappings file
d. Replace db connection settings in confiuration files on test server.
