Using CLI you can move the Precise FocalPoint server. This can be used if, due to IT requirements, you need to move all Precise FocalPoints on the server to another server.
Limitations
...
- The instructions refer to moving all Precise components that are installed on the Precise FocalPoint server to another server. Partial moving, or moving components from a server other than the Precise FocalPoint server, is not supported. If you want to move only one FocalPoint, contact Customer Support.
...
- If the FocalPoint server has instances or collectors installed on it, you can’t move it. The only exceptions to this, are the following agents:
...
- Alerts InformPoint
...
- Precise for SAP agent
...
- If you have a Collector not from the list above installed on the FocalPoint server, contact Customer support for further assistance.
...
- Only the PMDB FocalPoint is handled; the PMDB is not moved during this procedure. To move the PMDB, see Moving the PMDB to another server.
...
- Datafiles in the Precise FocalPoint that were not loaded to the PMDB are lost.
...
- The server to which the Precise FocalPoint is moved should have the same characteristics as the original Precise FocalPoint server.
...
- Identical operating system vendors.
...
- Same operating system type. However, the version may be different. For example: A transition from Linux 6.2 to Linux 7.0 and vice versa is not supported, but a transition from Linux 7.0 to Linux 7.1 and vice versa is possible.
...
- Same bit version. Moving components from 64-bit servers to 32-bit server, or vice versa, is not supported.
...
- Same CPU model. Moving components from AMD CPU to ITANIUM CPU, or vice versa, is not supported.
...
- You cannot move the Precise framework and the product frameworks to a server that is already installed as part of your federation installation.
...
- If you have already installed updates on one of your components, verify with Customer Support whether you have to reapply these updates after performing the Move and Rename procedure.
Procedure
To move the FocalPoint server1. Stop
- Stop all agents on all servers except for infra agents (listeners and Precise FocalPoint)
...
- Manually stop the Precise FocalPoint
...
Copy the entire
...
<precise_
...
root> folder from the origin server to the target server.
Info
...
For UNIX, verify that the <precise_root> folder is moved to the target server with the original folder permissions. If the original folder permissions are not saved on the target server, problems may occur.
...
- After the copy is completed, delete the file infra/host/hostname.txt from the new server.
...
- Start the Precise FocalPoint on the original server.
...
Run the following CLI on the new server using IN as the product-code argument value:
Windows
...
infra\bin\psin_cli.bat
-i3-user
...
<user_
...
name>
{-i3-encrypted-password
...
<encrypted_
...
password> | -i3-clear-password
...
<clear_
...
password>}
-action move-focal
-product <product
...
_
...
code>
-old-server
...
<old_server_
...
name>
-new-server
...
<new_server_
...
name>
-installation-cd-path
...
<cd_
...
path>
-proxy-alias
...
<proxy_
...
alias>
UNIX ./infra/bin/psin_cli.sh
-i3-user <user
...
_
...
name>
{-i3-encrypted-password
...
<encrypted_
...
password> | -i3-clear-password
...
<clear_
...
password>}
-action move-focal
-product <product

-old-server
...
<old_server_

-new-server
...
<new_server_
...
name>
-installation-cd-path
...
<cd_
...
path>
-proxy-alias
...
<proxy_alias>
Info After the move, the old server contains only the Precise Listener. You can uninstall it using setup for server CLI. The CLI might produce action items.
...
- For each FocalPoint you have installed on the old server, run the same command as above on the new main Precise FocalPoint server (change the -product argument value). When running the CLI, run it according to the following order:
...
- SAP FocalPoint (if installed) - product code SP
...
- Alerts FocalPoint (if installed) - product code PF
...
- All other installed FocalPoints product codes

Post-move adjustments and updates
After moving the FocalPoint server, you will need to make adjustments and updates for the following:
• Adjustment for Precise for SAP FocalPoint and agents on the new server
• Updating SAP on the original server
Adjustment for Precise for SAP FocalPoint and agents on the new server
To adjust the Precise for SAP framework on the new server
1. Run the following commands from the <precise_root> folder (to uninstall Precise for SAP FocalPoint services):
products\sap\bin\pssp_install_fp.bat products\sap\bin\pssp_install_agents.bat IS1
2. Open the products\sap\cfg\IS1\agents-config.xml file and replace the original server's Precise root folder with the new server's Precise root folder in the following elements:
o homedir
o cfgdir
o logdir
o rfgdir
3. Start the agents on the new server.
Updating SAP on the original server
To update SAP on the original server
• Run the following commands from the <precise_root> folder to uninstall the Precise for SAP FocalPoint services:
products\sap\bin\pssp_uninstall_fp.bat products\sap\bin\pssp_uninstall_agents.bat IS1
Verification
After moving the Precise FocalPoint’s server, perform the following verifications in the new installation:
• Check the agent’s status in Adminpoint
• Check that the Performance Warehouse processes are running and that data is loaded
• Check that data is displayed in the various products
