Moving a Siebel Analytics Web Catalog to Another System

This procedure explains how to move an existing Web Catalog to another Analytics installation. (For information about migrating a complete Siebel Analytics installation, see the Technical Notes section on SupportWeb.)

To move an existing Web Catalog to another system

  1. Stop the Siebel Analytics Web service.
  2. Stop these other services:
    • Siebel Analytics Server
    • Siebel Analytics Scheduler
    • Siebel Analytics Cluster Server

      NOTE:  When Analytics Web is installed on a Microsoft IIS Web server, the IIS Web server creates temporary files for its Web caching capability in a location specified by the Microsoft IIS installation. If Siebel Analytics Server is stopped before Siebel Analytics Web, these temporary files usually remain, consuming disk space.

      When you stop the Siebel Analytics Web service, the Web Catalog is written to the path shown in the CatalogPath registry key or instanceconfig.xml entry. (For more information, see Changing the Name and Location of the Siebel Analytics Web Catalog.)

  3. Verify successful shutdown by checking that the latest modified Web Catalog file is the original Web Catalog file with a .webcat extension, and not a backup file with an nnn.autosave extension.
  4. Copy the original Web Catalog file to the appropriate location on the new system.

    Optionally, you can also copy the version file (it has a .version extension).

  5. Restart the services.

NOTE:  If you do not want to stop the services, you can copy the related Web Catalog files to the appropriate location on the new system. This includes the original Web Catalog file (.webcat extension), the Version file (.version extension), and the Web Catalog backup files (nnn.autosave extensions).
