Can I move Decisions from one VM to another?

RichterBell

Hello, I currently have my Decisions Reop on a VM serving as my source control. Can you tell me how to move it to a new VM or possibly the azure cloud?

Hello,

Here if you plan to migrate to a new VM, please follow these steps:

1. Database: Back up the Decisions database from the old VM and restore it on the new VM. Update the connection string in Settings.xml.

2. File Storage: Copy the Decisions file storage directory to the new VM and set correct permissions.

3. Application Files: Copy the Decisions installation directory to the new VM. Update Settings.xml as needed.

4. Repository Server: 

a.  Install the repository server on the new VM, matching the version of your Decisions environment. See: https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/repository-installation

b. Update all Decisions instances (dev, test, prod) to point to the new repository server’s Portal Base URL in System > Settings > Designer Repository Settings. See: Connecting a Decisions Server to a Repository Server.

5. Service: Restart the Decisions service on the new VM.

6. Validation: Log in and verify all projects, flows, and repository connections work.

Here is our documentation that would help if you chose to deploy to Azure:
