Updating file server references

The way you execute the file_server_change script depends on your database platform.

To update file server references on Oracle

1. In the file structure extracted from BSA<version>-<platform>.zip, copy the script from the following location (to a directory from which you can access SQL*Plus):

   Location	Script
   BSA<version>-<platform>/files/configurations/ db_scripts/oracle/utility/file_server_change/	file_server_change_oracle.sql

2. Change (cd) to the directory where you copied the scripts.
3. Execute the following SQL*Plus command to change all file server references so they point to the new default file server:
   
   sqlplus <user> / <password> @file_server_change_oracle.sql
   
   Running this command produces output similar to the following example:

   Command	Example output
   file_server_change script	The Default File Server and root path current setting //devfs1/blade/storage3/ PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

   The file_server_change script sample output:

   The Default File Server and root path current setting //devfs1/blade/storage3/ PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

    The number of rows updated by each update statement will vary in your database. 

4. To be certain that all references point to the new file server, run the file_server_check script again (see Checking-file-server-references). The output should identify only one file server, and its values should be those of the new file server and storage location.

To update file server references on SQL server

1. In the file structure extracted from BSA<version>-<platform>.zip, copy the script from the following locations (to a directory from which you can access the sqlcmd utility):

   Location	Scripts
   BSA<version>-<platform>/files/configurations/ db_scripts/sqlserver/utility/file_server_change/	file_server_change_sqlserver.bat file_server_change_sqlserver.sql

2. Change (cd) to the directory where you copied the scripts.

3. Change all file server references so they point to the new default file server by running the following command:

   file_server_change_sqlserver sqlsrv <user> <database>

   Replace the variables with the following values

   sqlsrv	Name of the SQL Server hosting the TrueSight Server Automation database.
   user	User name of a database user that has the privileges required to perform this operation.
   database	Name of the database.

4. To be certain that all references point to the new file server, run the file_server_check script again (see Checking-file-server-references). The output should identify only one file server, and its values should be those of the new file server and storage location.
