Hi,
I have smarterstats 3.x enterprise edition and I am moving all the sites from Server A to Server B (which already has existing smarterstats sites). I think i have the steps down but since the w3svc id is changing i want to be sure i am on the right track.
I plan on:
-
Stop smarterstats service on server A and Server B
-
Stop smartersstats service and IIS on Enterprise server (server Ent)
-
Run a program i am writing on Server Ent, that will enumerate all the entries in appconfig.xml writing to a new file appconfig.xml.new, for each <site ServerID="XXX" line i locate where XXX is the serverID of Server A i will write YYY where YYY is the serverID of server B
-
For each matching line above, edit the corresponding siteAAAAA.xml file in the sites folder and
-
Change the ServerID from XXX to YYY
-
Update the path <path> to the full path to the IIS logs on the new server (with the new w3svcid)
Does this seem reasonable?
Also i presume i can copy all the smarterlog files for each website to Server B ahead of time as they will not be processed until i update the appconfig and sitexxx files .. Is this correct? ( i want to premigrate as much stuff as possible to faciliate as quick a live cutover as possible.
thanks for your time
