12.6 Moving Identity Reporting to a Separate Server

You can move Identity Reporting to a separate server from Identity Governance. This could occur if you realize that Identity Reporting impacts the performance of Identity Governance. The steps to move Identity Reporting to a separate server are very similar if you were going to upgrade Identity Reporting. The difference is where you reinstall Identity Reporting.

To move Identity Reporting to a separate server you must install Identity Reporting. The uninstaller program restores files, including the Apache Tomcat files to how they were before installing Identity Governance and Identity Reporting.

Use the following steps to move Identity Reporting to a separate server from Identity Governance.

  1. Back up the files in following directories:

    • Linux: The default location on a Linux server.

      • /opt/netiq/idm/apps/tomcat

      • /opt/netiq/idm/apps/idgov

      • /opt/netiq/idm/apps/idrpt

    • Windows: The default location on a Windows server.

      • c:\netiq\idm\apps\tomcat

      • c:\netiq\idm\apps\idgov

      • c:\netiq\idm\apps\idrpt

  2. Uninstall Identity Governance and Identity Reporting. For more information, see Section 13.2, Uninstalling Identity Governance or Uninstalling Identity Governance and Identity Reporting.

  3. Install Identity Governance again on the same server. For more information, see Section 6.0, Installing Identity Governance.

  4. Ensure that the new server meets the Identity Reporting requirements. For more information, see Section 7.2, Prerequisites for Identity Reporting.

  5. Install Identity Reporting on the new server and select Not to configure the database during the install. For more information, see Section 7.5, Installing Identity Reporting.

  6. Start Apache Tomcat on the Identity Reporting server. For more information, see Section 3.4.3, Starting and Stopping Apache Tomcat.
