Change the Portal server's IP address

If you want to test your Portal Server in a test environment, you'll need to change its IP address when you migrate the Portal Server to production.

To change the Portal server's IP address

  1. Update the DNS entries to point to the new IP address.
  2. If any of the following files have the Portal Server IP address hard-coded, update the files with the new IP address or the localhost that would serve for both systems.
    /opt/aptare/portalconf/portal.properties
                <URL>jdbc:oracle:thin@localhost:1521:scdb</URL>
    /opt/aptare/datarcvrconf/datrarcvrproperties.xml
                <URL>jdbc:oracle:thin@localhost:1521:scdb</URL>
    /opt/aptare/policyEngine/conf/systemconfig.properties
                <URL>jdbc:oracle:thin@localhost:1521:scdb</URL>
    /opt/aptare/policyEngine/conf/policyproperties.xml
                <URL>jdbc:oracle:thin@localhost:1521:scdb</URL>
    /opt/aptare/rptNotifyEngine/conf/rptnotifyproperties.properties
                <URL>jdbc:oracle:thin@localhost:1521:scdb</URL>
    /opt/aptare/rptNotifyEngine/conf/rptnotifyproperties.xml
                <URL>jdbc:oracle:thin@localhost:1521:scdb</URL>
  3. Change the IP address of the actual Portal Server.
