Test Server - Server Rename question
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?

One answer
Hi,
here's my scenario for preparing test server:
1. Install WAS and CLM running instructions from interactive installation guide running it to step 8 (Map security roles to a user or repository group).
2. Restore databases.
3. Start preparing to server rename using this guide: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSYMRC_6.0.2/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/t_prepare_sandbox_server_rename.html
a. Prepare mapping files: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSYMRC_6.0.2/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/t_server_rename_prepare.html?view=kc
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.
e. Run repotools and import mappings files.
f. Start test server and follow rest of instructions to the end.
