12.1 Manually Configuring Quick Finder Service for Change in IP Address and Hostname

On completion of the Transfer ID migration, you should manually configure some files in the QuickFinder service to change the IP address and the hostname.

In the QuickFinder service, update the /var/lib/qfsearch/SiteList.properties file with the new IP address and hostname.

In this example, assume that the existing hostname is hostname201.novell.com and IP address is 172.16.200.201. After Transfer ID migration, the new IP address is 172.16.100.101 and the hostname is hostname101.novell.com.

  1. Open the /var/lib/qfsearch/SiteList.properties file and search for the existing address:

    hostname201.novell.com=/var/lib/qfsearch/Sites/default@Alias:172.16.200.201

  2. Change the hostname and IP address in the file to the new hostname and IP address:

    hostname101.novell.com=/var/lib/qfsearch/Sites/default@Alias:172.16.200.101

  3. Save the file.

  4. Restart Tomcat by entering rcnovell-tomcat5 restart.

  5. Restart Apache by entering rcapache2 restart.

The QuickFinder service runs with the changed IP address.
