Question

If the host names or IP addresses of ALM server and database server are changed, modification needs to be done to indicate ALM to the new address. This KB gives the approach to do that.

Answer

ALM 11.0:

1. Change siteadmin.xml

The path to open the file is "C:\ProgramData\HP\ALM\jboss\server\default\deploy\20qcbin.war\WEB-INF\siteadmin.xml".

We need to change the content inside the tag "<DbUrl></DbUrl>", which will change the IP address of the DB server that contains siteadmin DB.

2. Change DBSERVERS table
Access to DB server. Open siteadmin DB, then modify the IP address or hostname of DB server under the table "DBSERVERS"

3. Change PROJECTS table
Access to DB server. Open siteadmin DB, then modify the IP address and hostname of DB server under the table "PROJECTS2

4. Restart ALM service.

ALM 11.5x:

1. Change siteadmin.xml

The path to open the file is "C:\ProgramData\HP\ALM\webapps\qcbin\WEB-INF\siteadmin.xml".

We need to change the content inside the tag "<DbUrl></DbUrl>", which will change the IP address of the DB server that contains siteadmin DB.

2. Change DBSERVERS table
Access to DB server. Open siteadmin DB, then modify the IP address or hostname of DB server under the table "DBSERVERS"

3. Change PROJECTS table
Access to DB server. Open siteadmin DB, then modify the IP address and hostname of DB server under the table "PROJECTS"
