No it uses the API. I just do it for safety (or maybe
habit from 5x). Some people that run a load balancer do not use server
groups so it is just an extra step for piece of mind.

I
thought that running the arsignal command if defs change or meta data changes
through the API layer is not necessary, at least its not necessary for us as the
server group logs clearly show that the primary server signals the rest of the
servers in the server group that a change has occurred, and that the secondary
servers ought to re-read the cache. At least that's the case with ARS 6.3
using the supposedly newer method to set up load balanced
servers...
So
assuming you are using this method, does this mean that the migrator bypasses
the AR Systems API layer?

Thanks for your response Susan...Question number 2 I guess related to this is - have any of you used the migrator on an environment where you have hardware load balancers? I would assume since the migrator is just another client it should be 'just another client' connecting to the load balancer... So even if that is possible, how does the licensing scheme work? Do we have to license every server behind the load balancer? Or does Remedy support 'match' the license you have purchased on one server for the other servers behind that load balancer?Joe D'SouzaRemedy Developer / Consultant,BearingPoint,Virginia.

**Joe,Yes, not a problem in this situation going upward. NOT a good idea to go backwards. Use Migrator 6, I've been using it on v5.1.2 since the beginning of v5.hth,Susan

We have some custom built applications that we need to move across servers but we have to move from ARS 5.0.3 to ARS 6.3These applications have been built using purely the AR Admin tool so there is nothing besides the standard ARS workflow engine that drives this application...Our challenge is that we already have 6.3 installed on another environment (for some good reasons we had to start off on that machine with ARS 6.3 so stepping back is not a choice).Is it possible to use the ARS migrator to migrate stuff from a 5.0.3 build to ARS 6.3? I am assuming this might not be possible but wanted to find out if anyone has done this before or if its just not possible to do it..ThanksRegardsJoe D'SouzaRemedy Developer / Consultant,BearingPoint,New Jersey.
