Next Steps

If your GitCentric restore was successful, you might need to perform one or more of the following tasks depending on whether or not you restored GitCentric to a new location or to a new machine. In addition, you might need to merge Gerrit configuration files.

If You Restored to a New Location

If you restored GitCentric to a new location on the existing machine, you need to:

  1. Modify docBase in <ac_home>/WebUI/tomcat/conf/Catalina/<hostname>/gitcentric.xml and kandoBridge.xml to point to the new GitCentric location.
  2. Compare Gerrit configuration files in kando_backup_site_etc_<yyyymmdd>.tar and merge any changes required to support your GitCentric installation to the new ../site/etc.
  3. Restart Tomcat web server:
    <ac_home>/WebUI/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
    <ac_home>/WebUI/tomcat/bin/startup.sh

If You Restored to a New Machine

If you restored GitCentric to a new machine, as you might in a migration scenario, for example, you need to:

  1. Set up Tomcat web server on the new machine with:
    • <ac_home>/WebUI/tomcat/conf/Catalina/<hostname>/gitcentric.xml
    • <ac_home>/WebUI/tomcat/conf/Catalina/<hostname>/kandoBridge.xml
  2. Compare Gerrit configuration files in kando_backup_site_etc_<yyyymmdd>.tar and merge any changes required to support your GitCentric installation to the new ../site/etc.
  3. Restart Tomcat web server to adjust AccuRev settings:
    <ac_home>/WebUI/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
    <ac_home>/WebUI/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
  4. Use PostgreSQL psql or pgadmin tools to edit the Kando database acserver table to correct the server client path for each AccuRev Server.

If You Restored to the Same Location

If you restored to the same location, simply unpack the kando_backup_site_etc_<yyyymmdd>.tar file by running:

tar xvf kando_backup_site_etc_<yyyymmdd>.tar
