Filesystem data migration example

For example purposes, suppose a Link installation initially used directories on a local filesystem for the values of HIP_FILE_DIR, HIP_MODULES_DIR, HIP_ADDITIONAL_LIBS and HIP_HIPREST_DIR. If a change in the locations of these directories is desired, then the following steps could be used for file system design data migration:
  1. Start an administrator command prompt session. Execute the following commands.
  2. Stops the Link installaton:
    1. cd <Link installation directory>\DesignServer
    2. .\stop.bat
  3. Back up the directories.
  4. Create new directories in their new locations and populate them with the appropriate backed-up data.
  5. Update, as necessary, the values of HIP_FILE_DIR, HIP_MODULES_DIR, HIP_ADDITIONAL_LIBS, and HIP_HIPREST_DIR in <Link installation directory>\DesignServer\hip-server-env.bat.
  6. Starts Link after the configuration update.
    1. .\start.bat
