Procedure

If you want to move your SAP Content Server and all the repositories it contains to a different server, you have to copy the ContentServer.INI file and the security directory to the new server. To do this, use the backup/restore functions of the SAP DB to copy the content of the database.

Note

If the host name or the HTTP port of the content server change due to the move, you have to change the repository definitions in the SAP systems accordingly.

Caution

We advise you against making a physical copy of the old content server and simply putting it onto a server with a different IP address. This procedure has been known to cause problems with the IIS, and the problems could only be solved by reinstalling the operating system.

If this situation does occur, it is not sufficient to simply reinstall the content server. You also have to reinstall NT, the service package, and the option package.
