Impact of server rename on the Data Collection Component

To ensure server rename is done properly for Data Collection Component and data warehouse, perform the following steps before and after server rename:

Actions to be performed before server rename

  1. Ensure that the Data Collection Jobs Enabled property is set to true for all IBM® Engineering Lifecycle Management applications. Setting this property to false disables all processing that is related to the data warehouse include server rename, which causes URLs in the data warehouse to not getting renamed.
    To verify and set the Data Collection Jobs Enabled property to true for all the Engineering Lifecycle Management applications:
    1. Open the Application Administration page of a Engineering Lifecycle Management application in a browser:

      The URL is https://<server>:<port>/<application>/admin, where <server> is the fully qualified domain name or localhost, <port> is the port number, and <application> is ccm, am, rm, qm, gc, dcc, dm, or relm.

      For example, in a web browser type: https://localhost:9443/ccm/admin

    2. In the Configuration section, click Advanced Properties.
    3. Search for the Data Collection Jobs Enabled property and ensure that it is set to true.
    4. Repeat these steps for each of the Engineering Lifecycle Management applications that are listed in the first step and then try the server rename operation again.
  2. Disable the data collection job:
    1. Navigate to Data Collection Component/web> Delta Load Configuration.
    2. Clear the Enabled option for all resource groups.
    3. Click Save.

Actions to be performed after a server rename

  1. Run the following queries on the Data Warehouse database to ensure that the returned URLs are renamed to the proper target URL:

    • SELECT URL FROM RIODS.PROJECT

      SELECT URL FROM RIODS.REQUEST

      SELECT URL FROM RIODS.TESTCASE

      SELECT URL FROM RIODS.REQUIREMENT

    If result of the previous queries show that the URLs are not renamed, shut down all Engineering Lifecycle Management servers, run the -renameURIInWarehouse command for JTS, ccm, qm, and rm to manually update the URL in data warehouse databases. See, Repository tools command to rename the URI in the data warehouse.

  2. After you have confirmed that the URLs are updated, enable the data collection job.
    1. Navigate to Data Collection Component/web> Delta Load Configuration.
    2. Select the Enabled option for all resource groups.
    3. Click Save.
  3. Run all data collection jobs.
    1. Navigate to Data Collection Component/web> Data Collection Job.
    2. Click Run all data warehouse collection jobs.
