IFS Apps 10 UPD19

 

Hi All,

As a PoC, I am currently investigating the possibly of moving one of our test middleware services from Windows to Oracle Linux platform.

Without creating a new ‘middleware home’ on this Linux server and then re installing 150-ish releases into it, does anybody know if it would be possible to use the ‘Clone’ option from the Windows server and then re create the middleware on the Linux server?

If not, has anybody else down this (moving from Windows to Linux) or have any idea what would be the best way forward..

I believe my options are limited and would have to go the re installing the releases route..

Any help / assistance would be greatly appreciated.

James

 

Hi @JamesW72,

You won’t be able to use the cloning method to move from Windows to Linux.

However, you can request an accumulated software build from IFS, which would contain all the releases that have been delivered to you. You can use this accumulated build to create a new IFS Middleware Server on any Windows or Linux server as required and since it would contain all the deliveries that have been delivered to you up to that  point, you don’t have to install them all one by one.

Please also be aware that it will be billable, but would save you a lot of time and effort if you have about 100+ deliveries to install on top of your initial build home. It also gives  you a fresh clean Middleware Server, which is another advantage.

Hope this helps!
