Points of interest when moving to another server: Globe, WMS, ICL, Bartender
Introduction
Migrating databases or Globe to a new server may take some planning. Please consider the list below in your planning. Please note: this document does not pretend to be complete but is based on experiences so far.
Description
Database
- scenario 1 - moving databases: detach databases from old server and move the files to the new server (prevent usage on old server)
- scenario 2 - copying databases: back-up databases from old server and restore on new SQL server - prevent usage on old server
- always prevent the old databases from being used by mistake. Disable security logins (like group 'Everyone')
or leave the old databases detached
- migrate SQL security users/groups, application roles (may be created by creating demo database on the new server)
- migrate SQL jobs (these can be scripted, but don't forget to change the old server name to the new server name
in those scripts)
Globe
- if Globe network install moved to a new folder: perform new Globe workstation installation by starting
wsetup.exe from the new share (in effect: the file c:\program files\exact software\bin\wupdate.ini should contain the correct path to the Globe network share).
- Globe setting "Public report directory"
- Globe settings for bank import/export folders
- Any references to linked external documents within Item maintenance (tab "Docs"), CRM maintenance.
- Any attachments which link as a shortcut to a mapped network drive or server
share
- Globe Office add-in settings
e-Synergy
Intercompany Logistics, ICL or Central Warehouse
- change all server and database configurations within Central Warehouse in Globe, see document
Where should I enter credential information for Central Warehouse ?
- change the ICL services CONFIG files
- consider remote ICL 'partner' database (remote ICL database communicating with your database)
- they also have to change the ICL configurations as mentioned above
WMS/Pick-IT specific
- Change the WMS RF services CONFIG files
- WMS 'non ASP' CAB with RF: change the server/database name in the hand terminal configuration file CONFIG.DAT, see document
How do I access Pick-IT files on the terminal
- WMS ASP: when you are also re-installing the IIS server - make screenshot of
the current IIS configuration
- WMS ASP: change the server/database name in the IIS configuration file 'Connections.config'
- Prevent using the old database (if still online) by changing the password of the SQL user used for the terminal login or IIS login
- WMS communication/archive folder settings in WMS General Settings
Bartender
- When re-installing the server or PC where the Seagull License Server (SLS)
is running:
deactivate the license on the old server using the Seagull (de)activation
wizard, and have your product key ready for new installation of the Seagull
License Server - When re-installing the SLS: all clients using Bartender need
to connect to the changed server/SLS, this is an option in Bartender itself
- Bartender labels in System/E-WMS/Labels
- References to the SQL server/login within Bartender labels
Other specific products
- Exact EDI has hard links to paths in Add-on/File information
- "Rekening Courant" has links to other databases (Add-on menu, SQL: CSRcAccount.RCserver)
- "Multi Financieel" has links to other databases (Add-on menu)
- "E-SSCC" / Production Add-on has a link to a Bartender label
