Hi all. Any HPDM experts out there? Our current server running HPDM is a Server 2008R2 build and we are trying to migrate it to a new Server 2016 and are running into all sorts of issues. The documentation is scarce and doesn't help. Since we still have a lot of legacy thin clients in production we are forced to run HPDM v. 4.7 rather than the new 5.0. Here are the issues we are having:
When installing HPDM on the new server, one is presented with options to create a new database (we currently have it on MS SQL), point to an existing database, or migrate HPDM database to a new location. When choosing either of the two later options, it asks for the installation path of the previous install. Since it is a new server it is not local and HPDM will not accept a network file share. I have tried importing the configuration file it is searching for but it refuses to recognize it.
Our database team has migrated the existing database to the new location off the old server and renamed it to try to trick HPDM into linking up to it but since we had to change the server name to our newer naming convention, the database is still trying to find the old server name.
Has anyone out there had similar issues?
