We're on a Windows server 2003, MS SQL 2005 environment and all we had to do was update the "Sybase-Server-Name: " parameter in ar.cfg. Our DBA copied all of the DB accounts over to the new server. If you have users that have connection strings in Excel macros, Crystal Reports, etc. that connect to the DB directly, they will have to modify those.

I shall have the DBA copy the arsystem database from the old server to the new. I know I need to change the file ar.conf. Do I need to do anything else? <from today's ar.conf> Db-name: arsystem Db-user: ARAdmin Dbhome-directory: /usr/oracle/product/10.2.0/client_1 Oracle-Two-Task: ORDDPS1G.WEPCO Db-Character-Set: UTF-8 <end ar.conf> Statistics: ARS 7.1.0 Patch 5 Oracle 10g This is our first Remedy system using Oracle.
