Duplicate organizations across systems

Use the Organization Duplicator to make a copy of an organization on another server to set up a failover system, or to migrate to a new server. This tool is located on the application server.
Prerequisites:
  • Two configured organizations on different database servers:
    • Source server
      : The server location of the organization to be duplicated.
    • Target server
      : The server location where the organization is to be duplicated.
  • The source server should have configured users, alert templates, map layers, and other objects.
Objects that are not duplicated:
  • Global health monitors
  • AtHoc
    Connect organizations
  • Incoming alerts
  • Sent alerts
  • User accounts
  • Distribution lists (static only)
For detailed information about what is duplicated, see Appendix B: Organization duplicator object management.
  1. Log in to the application server for the source system and navigate to the following directory:
    AtHocENS/ServerObjects/Tools/VPSDuplicator
    .
  2. Run the Organization Duplicator tool as an administrator.
  3. Provide the source and target server information:
    • Source:
      • Database server: The source application server name. For example:
