Impact of server rename on Lifecycle Query Engine and the Link Index Provider

You might encounter issues that relate to server rename and the Lifecycle Query Engine and the Link Index Provider.

After you complete the basic server rename for applications that are registered to the Jazz® Team Server, extra steps are required to ensure that Lifecycle Query Engine and the Link Index Provider can find the application data.

About this task

For general information about renaming the servers, see the topics under Changing the public URL by using server rename.

When you rename the applications' servers, you change the public URLs of referenced artifacts. You must complete the following steps to ensure that Lifecycle Query Engine can locate and index those artifacts.

Because the Lifecycle Query Engine does not support server rename by using the mapping file, the Lifecycle Query Engine indexes must be rebuilt after all the indexed applications are renamed.

Note: If you installed the Link Index Provider application because you are using configurations of versioned artifacts, repeat the rename process, using the appropriate URLs and file names as noted in the steps.
