Thank you for the reply. Indeed there are lots of local references on the old Jenkins server. For instance, the GRADLE_HOME is referencing a folder inside downloads folder. Is there a strategy to change all this simultaneously (through the Web GUI) or otherwise? It seems like at this current moment, I'll have to go through 50 .xml files on my JENKINS_HOME directory and make sure none of them are referencing locally.
Thanks in advance. On Wednesday, November 21, 2018 at 2:59:38 PM UTC-5, Pranav Kv wrote: > > Hi, > Migrating one server to another is not only just copying entire home > directory to the new one..
