9. In the Vault Configuration window, select the folder you have moved and

Moving a Server Using External Vaulting to a Different Host
You may wish to move a Windchill server using external vaulting to a different
host. The following example gives a procedure for moving a Windchill server on
Host A with file vaulting in f:\vaulting\folder-001 to Host B with file vaulting in
g:\vaults\folder-001, assuming that both hosts have running Windchill
installations.
1. Terminate the Windchill server on Host A.
2. Modify db.properties on Host B to identify it as the same oracle user as Host
A. If you are not setting properties through a graphical user interface or in a
mapping rules file, you add or edit properties with the xconfmanager utility,
which is discussed elsewhere in this guide.
3. Do one of the following:
– Copy all the vaulted files from Host A onto Host B. (i.e. from f:\vaulting\
folder-001 to g:\vaults\folder-001).
– Make sure the vaulted files (in their original location) are accessible from
Host B.
4. Start the Windchill server on Host B. A warning appears, stating that the
master site was modified and that you should make sure the modification is
correct by checking Replication Administrator or Site Manager.
5. Go to External Storage Administrator > Vault Configuration. The Vault
Configuration window appears.
6. Expand the tree until you can see Host A under the Hosts node.
7. Double click on Host A. In the Update Host window change the host name to
Host B.
8. Click on Folders and select the one you want to modify.
9. Click Objects > Mount and update the mount location from f:\vaulting\
folder-001 to g:\vaults\folder-001.
10. To test if you’ve been successful, try to access the content of a Windchill
object stored in the external vault.
