About saving the files before moving the OpsCenter Server

Before moving OpsCenter Server to a different computer, it is recommended that you save the following OpsCenter configuration files to a different location, so you can refer to them when required:

  • All contents of \INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\server\config

  • \INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\server\bin\OpsCenterServerService.xml file

  • All contents of \INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\gui\Security

  • INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\gui\bin\OpsCenterGUIService.xml

  • All contents of \INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\server\db\conf

  • All contents of \INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\gui\webserver\conf

  • \INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\gui\webserver\webapps\opscenter\WEB-INF\web.xml file

  • INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\agent\bin\OpsCenterAgentService.xml

  • INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\viewbuilder\bin\OpsCenterViewBuilder.xml

    For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\OpsCenter\viewbuilder\bin\OpsCenterViewBuilder.xml

INSTALLPATH is the directory where you have installed OpsCenter software.
