Hi all,
I already have a Windchill instance installed on a standalone VM. the VM contains the Windchill server, PDMLink and the SQL Server database. In order to make my copy, I shut everything down on my source Windchill instance, and made a copy of the VM. I think used the "Windchill Rehost Guide" to reconfigure the new server with it's new server name. I refered to the section called "Changing the hostname in an Existing Windchill Solution."
The commands themselves seemed fairly straight forward. I did the following steps:
- I'm not using Vaulting or Replication, so I skipped that.
- My server is not connected to LDAP, so I skipped that step as well.
- I followed the command to update the Apache server
- I updated the Database as instructed
- I updated the Repisitory table on target database. I did the first part that updated the hostname for the local Repisitory. but the second part with refered to the LDAP servers and Info*Engine I skipped this to.
- Next I updated the Database connection configuration. Specifically the Hostname. the way I saw it, nothing else had to change.
- The next step was attempting to bring up the Windchill server. For what ever reason, I cannot login to the Windchill server, I receive the following error message:
"The system is not available. There could be a server error or your credentials could be invalid or expired (for example, you may have entered the wrong password or your account may be locked). Contact your help desk or administrator for assistance."
I have tried both my administrator account as well as student account I created on the original server, none seem to work. Anyone have any ideas where I should look next?
Regards.
Steve
