Migration of RTC 3.0.1.1 from Server1 to Server2

You cannot change the registered URL for a 3.0.1 repository (i.e. the
URL prefix users type into their web browser or in their Eclipse
repository connection field). You can change the physical machine that
hosts the repository, by making the appropriate changes in DNS or create
a reverse proxy to redirect messages to the original registered URL to
the new machine.

In 4.0, you should be able to change the registered URL of a repository.

Hi,

We are planning to migrate the RTC 3.0.1.1 Physical Server to differnt
Virtual Server.which is integrated with RRC 3.0.1.1. Backend DB2
database.. websphere 7.0 64 bit. and enabled with LDAP .

In RTC Server we already have Source Code and Workitems.

Process Templates has been coustmized.

and also its been integrated with Rational Insight running on
differnet server websphere 6.0 32 bit.

Please let me know the best practise to migrate from one physical
serve to Virutal server but he name will change on the server..

whats the impact on the exist data and process configurations.

DNS maps a hostname to an IP address, such as:
myhost.mycompany.com -> 127.33.55.10
To change this to a new machine, update the DNS table to map the
hostname of the RTC server to be the IP address of the new machine.
