When doing a target server move, if the hostname and IP address do not change, the procedure for move is very simple. This solution delves on it.
General information.
Here are the steps involved:
1. Stop application on source database.
2. Issue flush from source.
3. Once the Post on target stops due to flush, shutdown Shareplex on target and move the files to the new server.
4. Create appropriate entries in /etc/host on both source and new target server to reflect changes to the target.
5. Start Shareplex on new target server and start Post.
6. Issue another flush from source to simulate replication. Once the Post stops due to flush, then replication is working fine.
7. The post can be restarted and application be allowed to access source database.
