Migrating Plant Integrations from WebHost (IIS) to AppHost (self-hosted)
Plant Integrations - Configurator
The Configurator tool is designed to give users greater control over configuration settings and streamline the execution of common setup tasks.
Migration
In this section, we use the term origin application as the web hosted installation (WebHost), and we use the term target application as the self-hosted installation (AppHost).
Overview
To facilitate the transition from WebHost to AppHost, the Configurator application includes a Migration module designed to assist users throughout the process. This module probes for any existing origin applications on the current system, offering the user to migrate the selected application to the target application. The migration process is automated and consists of the following steps:
Copy application data to the target application
Copy existing vendor assemblies to the target application
Start the services of the target application
Stop the origin application
Manual action: update the connector URL in Config Hub to point to the new application endpoint.
Steps
To migrate an origin application:
Open the ‘Configurator’ application which can be found in the Start Menu.
Click ‘Migration’ in the navigation panel on the left.
3. Click the 'Migrate' button to start the migration.
4. Important! Go to ConfigHub and change the URL of the connector to the new URL.
