Migrate between EBS servers Follow

When you create services on EBS Forms, the best practice would be to record/create services on Dev EBS server, and then migrate those services to other EBS servers (other Dev/Test/UAT/Prod).

This short guide assumes that both environments are equal. If so, the migration should be straight forward.

Before migrating environments:

Make sure that all the services use on Forms URL and static username/password -  ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES link

You can go to Admin->System->Domains to check all used domains. In this page you can change all used domains in all the services at once

HTML services

Change the FormsUrl to point to the new EBS environment

Validate that the same responsibilities exist on both environments

Forms services

Change the FormsUrl to point to the new EBS environment

Validate that the same responsibilities exist on both environments

Make sure that the "LoginAndGetICXTicket" service works and returns icx_ticket. common fixes would be to replace 'jnlp' url to an existing one in the new environment. 

Troubleshooting

Play Forms service, if you get Popup message: APP-FND-01630: Cannot open file ...." i means that the 'config' parameter in both environments does not the same value.

It is possible to change the value by setting this parameter in "System Properties":

append.defaults = ${env.ENV_DEFAULT_VARS}

and set in Environment variables:

ENV_DEFAULT_VARS=config='<new config>'
