How to Clone Digital Hive Using a Direct Copy of the Database

Question

How can I clone or migrate one Digital Hive environment to another environment?

Answer

The same version of Digital Hive needs to be installed in both the original and new environment.

Steps

  1. Install the same version of Digital Hive in the new environment. For example, if the original environment is on version 2024.1.2 then ensure that you install Digital Hive 2024.1.2 in the new environment.
  2. In the original environment, launch Services and stop all Digital Hive services (Digital Hive - node1, Elasticsearch 5.5.1 (DigitalHive_9200), Elasticsearch 5.5.1 (DigitalHive_9201), DigitalHive Content Store and DigitalHive-IQ-Server)
  3. Copy this folder DigitalHive\PostgreSQL\data to somewhere else (and zip if you like)
  4. In the new environment, launch Services and stop all Digital Hive services (Digital Hive - node1, Elasticsearch 5.5.1 (DigitalHive_9200), Elasticsearch 5.5.1 (DigitalHive_9201), DigitalHive Content Store and DigitalHive-IQ-Server)
  5. Launch File Explorer, rename this folder: DigitalHive\PostgreSQL\data to DigitalHive\PostgreSQL\OLD-data
  6. Move the folder (or file if you zipped it) from step 3 to the new environment
  7.  Place it or unzip into DigitalHive\PostgreSQL
    i.e. you should now have this folder:  DigitalHive\PostgreSQL\data
  8. In the original environment, open DigitalHive\app\node1\tomcat\config\theia.properties
  9. In the new environment, open DigitalHive\app\node1\tomcat\config\theia.properties
  10. Copy the values for these properties from the original environment to the new environment
    motio.theia.db.username
    motio.theia.db.password
    motio.adfcore.db.username
    motio.adfcore.db.password
    motio.adfcore.postgresql.admin.user
    motio.adfcore.postgresql.admin.password
    motio.theia.TaggedEncryptor.passphrase
    motio.adfcore.TaggedEncryptor.passphrase
  11. In the new environment, launch Services and start DigitalHive Content Store, Elasticsearch 5.5.1 (DigitalHive_9200), Elasticsearch 5.5.1 (DigitalHive_9201), Digital Hive - node1, and DigitalHive-IQ-Server
Digital Hive should now be running in the new environment!
