Best Practices for Migrating an Interplay Engine to Another Server
17
Restart the Interplay Engine Before Moving the Database
While not required, this is a good test of the health of the system. In particular, it is useful to
perform a failover of an Interplay cluster system. This can expose any problems with the
cluster services. If there are any problems restarting the system, fix the problems before you
begin moving the database.
Determine the Location of the CCS
An Interplay workgroup requires a Central Configuration Server (CCS), a module that stores
the Interplay user database and other settings. In an environment with a single Interplay
Engine, the CCS is located on the Interplay Engine. In an environment that includes more
than one Interplay Engine, one Interplay Engine can include the CCS for all Interplay
Engines in the environment.
To determine the CCS for a workgroup:
1. Open the Interplay Administrator.
2. In the User Management section of the Interplay Administrator window, click the
Central Configuration Server icon.
The computer name of the CCS is displayed.
If you need to migrate the server that includes the CCS, you need to migrate the Interplay
users database (_InternalData folder). For more information, see the next topic.
Follow the Move Instructions in the Interplay Administrator Guide
See the following topics in the Interplay Engine and Interplay Archive Engine
Administration Guide.
If you need to move an Interplay Engine database, see the following:
• Moving a Database to Another Server (Non-Clustered Systems)
• Moving a Database to Another Server (Clustered Systems)
If you need to move an Interplay Engine database and an Interplay users database (CCS), see
the following:
• Moving a Database and Users to Another Server (Non-Clustered Systems)
• Moving a Database and Users to Another Server (Clustered Systems)
