Rehosting Utility Configuration § projects. properties – Defines the rehosting use cases – Controls the order of execution for modules and scripts § rehost. properties – Defines the configuration for a specific rehosting procedure – Controls the configuration and data changes made to an environment § set. Auth process – Updates secure keystore with passwords for Site Admin, DBA, and LDAP Admin. – Stores encrypted values to be referenced by rehost. properties § rehost process – Executes a given rehost. properties configuration – Follows order of operations defined in projects. properties – Must be executed on all nodes in the target environment 6

Rehosting Utility Scripting § Provides support for unique customer configurations – Database Export/Import – LDAP Export/Import – Windchill Stop/Start/Clear § Simple exstensible support for additional environmental needs – New scripts can be added in-line with OOTB scripts and modules – Define script in rehost. properties, insert into use case in projects. properties 7

Rehosting Utility Execution § set. Auth § Monolithic: rehost on target § Cluster: rehost on target master, then all target slaves – One slave node must execute post-rehost tasks such as Vault reconfiguration § File Server: rehost on all target file servers 8
