You can move the Deployment Web Service to a new computer.
To move the Deployment Web Service to a new computer:
Install the new Deployment Web Service. For more information, see the Installation Guide for AppManager, available on the AppManager Documentation page.
Update the Control Center preferences to specify the new Deployment Web Service. For more information, see Updating the Control Center Preferences to Specify the New Deployment Web Service.
Reconfigure any deployment services that use the Deployment Web Service as a proxy. For more information, see Reconfiguring Any Deployment Services That Use the Deployment Web Service as a Proxy.
Update your AppManager agents to communicate with the new Deployment Web Service. For more information, see Updating Your AppManager Agents to Communicate with the New Deployment Web Service.
Uninstall the existing Deployment Web Service. For more information, see Uninstall the Existing Deployment Web Service.
In the Control Center console, on the Main tab of the ribbon, in the Tools group, click Options > Deployment > General and update the Web server field to specify the name of the computer where you installed the new Deployment Web Service.
To reconfigure the Deployment Service:
Right-click the DeploymentService.exe.config file under <NetIQ-install_path>\AppManager\Control Center\bin and click Properties.
In the Properties dialog box, remove the Read-only setting and click OK.
In the DeploymentService.exe.config file, under <appSettings>, change the value of the ProxyWebService parameter to specify the new name of the Deployment Web Service, for example:
<add key = "ProxyWebService" value = "DeploymentWebServer"/>
where DeploymentWebServer is the name of the computer where you installed the new Deployment Web Service.
Close and save your changes to the DeploymentService.exe.config file.
Restart the NetIQ AppManager Deployment Service for your changes to take effect.
Repeat these steps for each Deployment Service in your environment that uses the Deployment Web Service as a proxy.
By default, if an agent does not contact the Deployment Web Service within three days, you cannot deploy new installation packages to the agent without first restarting the AppManager agent. Until you reconfigure your agents to communicate with the new Deployment Web Service, the Control Center console will not display updated software inventory information.
To configure your agents to use the new Deployment Web Service, run the AMAdmin_SetDeploymentWebService Knowledge Script.
For information about uninstalling the Deployment Web Service, see the Installation Guide for AppManager, available on the AppManager Documentation page.
