To migrate Truesight Report Engine from the C drive to D drive

Perform the following steps:

  1. Stop the Report Engine service.
  2. Take a backup of existing install directory.
  3. Uninstall Report Engine.
  4. In the Report Engine database, update the bppm_server_config table by running the following command:
    update bppm_server_config set deleted='T' where SERVER_ID=<tsim_server_id>
  5. Install Report Engine on the D drive while keeping the same Report Engine database and TrueSight Infrastructure Management from the previous installation.

    Important

    • Reinstall Report Engine on the same day.
    • Do not choose to configure TrueSight Smart Reporting during installation because the configuration files are copied across from the previous installation while reinstalling TrueSight Smart Reporting.
  6. Make sure that the value for the Select deleted from bppm_server_config where SERVER_ID=<tsim_server_id> parameter is set to F.
  7. Update the value for the parameter bppm_server_config set deleted='F' where SERVER_ID=<tsim_server_idto F.
  8. (Oracle database only) Run the commit command.
  9. Use the TrueSightInfrastructureManagement_config CLI command in the Edit option and execute it. For more information, see TrueSightInfrastructureManagement_config-command.
