Link: Cloning one Maximo 7.5 Administrative Environment to Another Machine
Question
Can you clone/port a Maximo environment to another machine without doing a full install on the second machine.
Answer
You can attempt to clone/port a Maximo environment to another machine from a machine where Maximo has been installed. On both machines Maximo must reside in the same location. If Maximo was installed on the E drive on machine 1 it needs to be setup on the E drive on machine 2. The operating system on both machines must be identical. If one is Windows 2003 SP2 64-bit, the second machine must be the same. It can not be for example Windows 2003 SP2 32-bit or Windows 2003 64-bit.
This assumes the middleware has been installed and configured.
On the first machine:
1. Zip the ibm\smp folder
2. Backup the database this Maximo connects
On the second machine:
1. copy the zipped ibm\smp folder from the first machine
2. Unzip the smp zip to the same drive and location as the first machine
3. Update the DE host name
From a command prompt, change to c:\ibm\smp\ctg_de\acsi
run setenv
change to bin
run de_chghostname.cmd
Database
Restore the backed up database from the first environment to the database for this second environment
Update the following files and database table and change the values of the properties to reflect the second environment:
1. ibm\smp\etc\install.properties
2. ibm\smp\maximo\applications\maximo\properties\maximo.properties (edit the non-encrypted file and run encryptproperties to re-encrypt after changes are made)
3. Edit the values in the maxpropvalue table (this can be done via the System Properties application after the Maximo EAR has been built and deployed)
Build and deploy the EAR files to the Application Server JVM for this second environment.
If you encounter errors with this process and/or other component installs into this environment you may need to do the 'original' installs on this new admin workstation.
2. Backup the database this Maximo connects
