Change Domain Controller

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

Currently we have DEV system as our domain controller with no backup domain controller, now we want to configure PRD as Domain controller & DEV as backup doamin controller.

I found that there are 2 ways of doing so:

1. Make PRD as BDC & activate it, then point TRANSDIR & DIR_TRANS to PRD trans directory

Issue: Domain name, group name & profile name will still be the same

2. Delete STMS configuration & reconfigure from start (PRD as DC & DEV as BDC). Set transport directory path in instance profiles

So we decide to go with approach 2 (delete & reconfigure everything).

Need your feedback on both the approaches.

Is there any way to take backup of all STMS configuration (or atleast Routes) & restore it.

When you are deleting STMS config. it gives couple of prompts and one of them is weather you want to delete old versions, say no when that option is prompted.

Dear All,

We have successfully done the migration of Domain controller fron DEV (Standalone) to PRD (High availabiltiy). Few points to

remember:

1. No need to delete & create routes before / after the activity. It maintains the version.

2. need to run report TMS_MGR_LOADBALANCING after configure PRD as DC to make it high available.

I will go with option 2. Secondly in STMS, the versions are stored automatically. So you can always go back to the previous version and activate it. Versions can be found STMS-> Overview-> Transport Routes -> Configuration -> Get Other Version.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Will the versions & version information be still available after deleting all STMS configuration & reconfiguring PRD as Domain controller??

Please confirm.
