Restoring site with a different hostname - "Entering main startup phase.."

[pauljohansson]

Hej,

I'm doing a simply one machine setup backup - restore to a machine with a different hostname as described: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/June2019/Subsystems/PlanningQlikSenseDeployments/Content/Sense_Dep...

When running  Repository.exe -bootstrap -standalone -restorehostname

I get stuck on "Entering main startup phase..."

Any ideas or pointers?

When I recently went through this I needed to (a) ensure that the Qlik Sense Service Dispatcher service was started and (b) restarted the Qlik Sense Service Dispatcher service to get things to go through.

Yes this worked. I guess this should be updated in the Online Help:
