You must change all the references to the ar.cfg file (ar.conf) regarding your 
current instance.
 
Also you must check and be sure that your host file has been update if your 
hosts name changes for the app server and the db server (just in case that the 
db is set on a remote location).
 
An easiest way that I use on windows/SQL env is the next:
 
* Load your current SQL DB on the new SQL Server... Load tables, permissions, 
users, etc.
* Move all your filesystem (or directories in this case) and place it in the 
same location from your current server into the new one.
* Run the installer for ARS, and chose the upgrade option (If you have custom 
views of fields on User and Group Forms, i recommend that have a backup from 
this forms and data, if you dont have any customization, the backup is not 
needed)
* Enjoy the show!!! (Just Kidding)

moveTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 




Hi group,
 
            We need to move the ARSystem database from the old SQL instance to 
a new SQL instance. Can you please let me know what the application connection 
strings (like changing the database name in ar.cfg etc.) may be changed? What 
are the steps to be followed for that, or what are the precautions that need to 
taken prior to the move. We are on AR Server 7.1 Patch 3, SQL server 2005 and 
windows 2003 R2. The environment its going to be moved to is going to be 
similar. We are not trying to migrate the AR Server installation to a new 
machine but just moving the tables in the ARAdmin account in the old SQL 
instance to a new instance of SQL Server. Do I need to make any changes for the 
Mid-Tier settings to make it work?
 
Thanks
