Moving a repository is fairly simple and straight forward, but you do need to make sure that you follow all the steps.
It is recommended that you disable access to the repository before doing this. You can use a Timestamp for this purpose.
First of all, copy your repository database to its new location.
Open Supervisor, and on the Login screen, click on the Admin button, and follow the wizard to do a Safe Recovery. This will generate a new .key file. Note: The .key file only contains the pointer to the security domain.
Continue to login to Supervisor, and go to Tools - Repository. Select your Document Domain, and click edit. Change the connection to point to the new repository location. Do the same for the Universe Domain. Repeat this process for any and all document and universe domains. Very important!
Distribute your new .key file to all machines that access the repository. This includes your Webi server, BCA server, and all Full Client desktop machines.
That’s it. You can now shut down your old repository.
