Rehosting Utility Configuration projects.properties Defines the rehosting use cases Controls the order of execution for modules and scripts rehost.properties Defines the configuration for a specific rehosting procedure Controls the configuration and data changes made to an environment setAuth process Updates secure keystore with passwords for Site Admin, DBA, and LDAP Admin. Stores encrypted values to be referenced by rehost.properties rehost process Executes a given rehost.properties configuration Follows order of operations defined in projects.properties Must be executed on all nodes in the target environment 6
Rehosting Utility Scripting Provides support for unique customer configurations Database Export/Import LDAP Export/Import Windchill Stop/Start/Clear Simple exstensible support for additional environmental needs New scripts can be added in-line with OOTB scripts and modules Define script in rehost.properties, insert into use case in projects.properties 7
Rehosting Utility Execution setAuth Monolithic: rehost on target Cluster: rehost on target master, then all target slaves One slave node must execute post-rehost tasks such as Vault reconfiguration File Server: rehost on all target file servers 8
