Copying NFO Configuration

This section provides instructions on copying NFO configuration from machine A to B. It applies to situations when NFO+EDFN is already installed and configured on machine A. NFO stores all configuration, including Module’s parameters, in the installation directory, making the migration of NFO from one server to another a straightforward process by copying the configuration files.

For instructions on copying the configuration of External Data Feeder for NFO (EDFN) installed on a separate machine, visit Copying External Data Feeder for NFO (EDFN) Configuration

Procedure

Use the following steps to do this on Linux:

On machine A:

1. Stop Tomcat service (see Working with NFO Service)

2. Stop External Data Feeder for NFO service (see Working with External Data Feeder for NFO Service)

3. Create copy of installation:

tar -czf flowintegrator_copy.tar.gz /opt/flowintegrator /opt/nfi-updater

4. Start Tomcat service
5. Start External Data Feeder for NFO service
6. Copy flowintegrator_copy.tar.gz to B.

On machine B:

1. Install the same version of NFO as on A. Don’t configure NFO.
2. Stop Tomcat service
3. Stop External Data Feeder for NFO service
4. Remove all NFO files:

   rm -rf /opt/flowintegrator
   rm -rf /opt/nfi-updater
5. Extract copy of NFO:

    tar -xzf flowintegrator_copy.tar.gz -C /   
6. If you clone an NFO instance, remove file nfo_uuid:

   rm -f /opt/flowintegrator/tomcat/data/nfo_uuid
7. Start Tomcat service
8. Start External Data Feeder for NFO service
9. Check that Tomcat has been started and has same configuration as on machine A.
