Hi Anshul,
As you mentioned that currently you are changing the platform for BODS in place of BOE 4.x you are using IPS 4.X that is great decision.
Now while configuring Data Services we need to point it back to existing local and central repositories. My question is do we need to upgrade the repositories using Repositories Manager?? As we have not upgraded to any newer version and just uninstalled and re installed same Data Services version with IPS this time. Is there anything specific we need to do?
Solution: No need to upgrade because you are only changing the platform of BODS in place of BOE 4.x you are using IPS 4.X, Now below are the steps need to be performed.
- As you mentioned that you are using the same BODS version (BODS 4.0 SP2) then no need to upgrade because that Local & Secure Central Repository will contain same version metadata of BODS.
- After Installation of BODS & BOIPS in new platform, Open Central management console and add both local & secure central repository.
- Apply rights & Security in Local & Secure Central Repository.
Do we need to configure each job server and local and central repos in CMC manually?
Solution: Yes you have to delete & recreate the Job server because job server is always using the machine name. So if your machine name is different then please do the below steps
- Delete Job Server details from AL_MACHINE_INFO Table for all Local Repository.
