#I am trying to copy an IFS environment with IFS Colne.
 Clone IFS environment on server A to IFS environment on server B (IFS instance name is changed when cloning)


#I checked the manual above, but it only describes some commands and outlines the procedure, but not the detailed procedure.

IFS Manual URL
 https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/Foundation1/020_installation/020_installing_fresh_system/040_installing_ifs_applications/030_deploy_middle_tier/hidden_itd/270_backup.htm


#I am assuming the following procedure from the manual description, but I am not sure if it is justified. I am not sure if there are any missing procedures.


*Work on the clone source environment

1.Create a new includeList file
 Location of newly created includeList file:<ifs_home>/instance/<clone source instance name>/includeList
 Contents of includeList file:<ifs_home>/ifsdoc

2.Creating a clone [IFS manual procedure]
  [Execute command]
  cd /d <ifs_home>/instance/<clone source instance name>/bin
  create_backup -clone

  A clone file is created.
  Location to be generated:<ifs_home>/instance/<clone source instance name>

*Work on the clone destination environment

3.Extract the clone file [Extract to:<ifs_home>].

4.Edit the file
  Edit the contents of the following files according to the information of the clone destination
 <ifs_home>/instance/<clone source instance name>/<clone source instance name>_configuration.xml

5.Delete the folder
 Delete the folder because it was a link in the clone source but is now an actual file.
  <ifs_home>/ifsdoc/documentation/en

6.Create symbolic link
  [Execute command]
  mklink /D ja <ifs_home>/ifsdoc/documentation/en

7.Restore the clone [IFS manual procedure]
  [Execute command]
 cd /d <ifs_home>
 restore_clone -instance=<clone target instance name> 

8.Change the Solr service
 To change the Solr service name, execute the following to delete the Solr service
 <ifs_home>/instance/<clone target instance name>/bin/uninstall_service_solr.cmd

9.Edit Build related files
 Modify the following files
 Edit: Change the value of ifs.home.service from [IFS MWS Nodemanager <ifs_home>] to [(<ifs_home>)
  <ifs_home>/installer.xml
  <ifs_home>/installer_silent.xml
  <ifs_home>/instance/<clone target instance name>/build.properties
  <ifs_home>/repository/server/build.properties

10.Execute "reconfigure"
   After execution, the Solr service name becomes the name modified in 9.


Is there a document that describes the IFS clone procedure in detail?
Also, please let me know if there are any problems or shortcomings with the above procedure.
