Hi, We have successfully restore the production (Clarity 7.5.2 FP02 and Oracle DB) data to new developement server in our organization, which we need to pre upgrade the the clarity 7.5.2 FP02 to Clarity 12 SP05 and it's working with out any issue. Some tricks we are following to up the new development server. Our Production server (Application and Database) is running on Sun Solaris for different server. But Our new development server is Windows 2003 SP2 which need to install clarity application and Linux Enterprise 4 which need to install database(oracle). If destination server is sun solaris, there is no issue to install the clarity application. just copy the clarity folder from Production to new developement server and change the properties file. then applocation should be working with out any issue. This also we have implemented some month back in our organization. But this method is not working in windows box, becaz some services need to be registered in RegEdit. If we have to install clarity in windows box, first install the clarity 7.5.2 version and apply the SP01 and SP02, then we have to change the source file whatever changed in production. we are following the below procedure to install the clarity and restore the database for our new developement server with out changing some source file whatever changed in prodution server. Steps for Clarity application Restore: 1) Installed Clarity 7.5.2 in new development windows server, Some of services (NSA and Beacon) should be registered, once source installed successfully. 2) back up the Clarity 7.5.2 which we have installed in new development server (nikuadmin backup). fro safety purpose, to aviod re-install the clarity application. 3) back up the Clarity 7.5.2 FP02 from Production server (nikuadmin backup) which we need to restore this clarity dump to new development server. 4) To rename the clarity.old folder instead of clarity where we have installed in our new developement server. (For backup Purpose) 5) Changed the install.properties file where we have taken back up from production server "install.dir=E:\\niku\\clarity" instead of "/shared/filestore/niku6". 6) Run command prompt and goto backup folder and execute the restore.bat file. Once production dump restored in new developement server, Then change the properties file and also changed default-web-site.xml file from E:\niku\clarity\orion-app-deploy\config folder. 7) Once chanaged some of file in new windows server, then start the nsa services and also removed the existing app, bg and reporting services and again add the services. 8) To start the app, bg and reporting services and checked the application, every thing is working with out any issue. 9) To check the health check. Database Install: 1) Oracle software installed in new Linux development server. 2) Back up the production dump and import the new development server. 3) To taken the sequence source from production and re-create the new development server which database imported in the destination server. 4) run the command (nikuadmin db compile and analyze). ThanksSenthil.
