Relocating a Clearinghouse
Note: This topic describes the procedure that you use to temporarily relocate a clearinghouse from one CDS server system to another. Note that the procedure cannot be used to configure additional CDS server systems. (See the OSF DCE Administration Guide - Introduction for information on how to configure CDS servers and CDS clerks.)
Occasionally, you may need to relocate a clearinghouse from the server system where it currently resides to another server system. For example, you may want to move a clearinghouse when:
· You need to temporarily disconnect the host server system from the network for repair or for other reasons.
· You no longer want the current host system to function as a CDS server.
· You want to move the clearinghouse to a server system that is physically closer on the network to the user groups and applications that use the information contained in the clearinghouse.
To relocate a clearinghouse, follow these steps:
1. Dissociate the clearinghouse from the server where it is currently running.
2. Copy the clearinghouse database files from their current location (source server system) to their new location (target server system).
3. Create a new clearinghouse on the target server system by using the same name that was used on the source server system from which you copied the database files.
