Moving Repositories to the External Database

Now that you have added a repository server to the domain of an external database, you can move additional repository servers to that InSight Rendering domain by joining them to the database.

To move a repository to the database for a InSight Rendering domain:
  1. Start Domain Manager on the repository server that you want to move.
  2. Suspend the repository.
    Suspending the repository enables it to finish processing current jobs but prevents it from processing any others while you are moving it.
  3. Do the following:
    1. In the left pane, click the Administration tab.
    2. Expand Domain.
    3. Click the repository that you want to move.
    4. After the right pane refreshes to display the business services, right-click the repository and click Suspend.
  4. If the repository is the logging server for the domain, configure another repository to be the logging server.
  5. Click the Configuration tab in the left pane.
  6. Expand Domain > Repositories, and then click the repository you are moving.
  7. From the menu bar, choose Edit > Move.
    The Move Repository dialog box opens.
  8. Since the database was established for the first repository server in the InSight Rendering domain, you can move the repository by clicking Machine and specifying the Name of the first repository server. This action joins the repository server on which you are working to the InSight Rendering domain and database. You can also move the repository by clicking Database and specifying the database as you did in Establishing an external database.
  9. Click OK.
  10. Return to the Administration tab in the left pane, right-click on the server you moved and select Resume.
  11. Choose File > Save to save your changes.
  12. Restart Domain Manager.
    Now that this repository server has been moved from the local single-repository InSight Rendering domain to the multiple-repository InSight Rendering domain, the repository disappears from the Domain Manager window. To view this repository in the multiple-repository InSight Rendering domain, choose View > Domain to change the InSight Rendering domain you are viewing in the Domain Manager window.
