Shaila,
In a nutshell, these are the steps you will need. I have a single node installation so your process may be different depending on the complexity of your installation. I would suggest creating a ticket with support to review any specific questions you may have. You can find the procedure to backup and restore certificates in Qlik Help.
Download Qlik Sense Software to new server - same version 2.2
On Existing Server
Run Cleanup script
Stop all Qlik Services
Make a backup of the Repository database
Pg_dump.exe -h localhost -p 4432 -U postgres -b -F t -f "f:\QSR_backup.tar" QSR
Backup certificates - This is tricky if not keeping the same server name.
Trusted Root Certification Authorities (Local Computer)
Personal Certificates (Local Computer)
Personal Certificates (Current User)
Backup log files
%ProgramData%\Qlik\Sense\Logs
Backup apps folder
%ProgramData%\Qlik\Sense\Apps
Backup supporting files (QVD, etc.)
QVD’s. Excel Files, etc.
%ProgramData%\Qlik\Sense\Repository\Content
%ProgramData%\Qlik\Sense\Repository\Extensions
Start Qlik services
On New Server
Install Qlik software (DO NOT START SERVICES after installation)
Repository Password: same as original server
Restore certificates
Start the Qlik Repository Database
Restore the database
Createdb -h localhost -p 4432 -U postgres -T template0 QSR
If DB already exists: dropdb -h localhost -p 4432 -U postgres QSR
Pg_restore.exe -h localhost -p 4432 -U [postgres -d QSR "f:\QSR_backup.tar"
Restore Apps, Content and Extension folders – From original server
Restore Logs folder – From original server
Restore supporting files – from original server
Start Qlik services
Reset any connector passwords
Validate Sense Server license
Hope this helps.
Kevin ..
