You can move the Workflow Engine to a separate server from other components, such as Identity Governance and Identity Reporting. This could occur if you realize that Workflow Engine impacts the performance of the other components. The steps to move to a separate server are similar to upgrading. The difference is where you reinstall the Workflow Engine.
To move the Workflow Engine to a separate server you must uninstall the Workflow Engine. The uninstaller program restores files, including the Apache Tomcat files to how they were before installing the Workflow Engine.
Use the following steps to move the Workflow Engine to a separate server from Identity Governance.
Back up the files in the following directories depending on what you installed with the Workflow Engine:
Linux: The default location on a Linux server:
/opt/netiq/idm/apps/tomcat
/opt/netiq/idm/apps/idgov
/opt/netiq/idm/apps/idrpt
/opt/netiq/idm/apps/wfe
Windows: The default location on a Windows server:
c:\netiq\idm\apps\tomcat
c:\netiq\idm\apps\idgov
c:\netiq\idm\apps\idrpt
c:\netiq\idm\apps\wfe
If you installed the Workflow Engine with Identity Governance and Identity Reporting, then uninstall Identity Governance, Identity Reporting and the Workflow Engine. For more information, see Section 14.2, Uninstalling Components Installed with the Identity Governance Installer.
Install Identity Governance and Identity Reporting again on the same server. For more information, see Section 6.0, Installing Identity Governance and Section 7.0, Installing Identity Reporting.
Ensure that the new server meets the Workflow Engine requirements. For more information, see Section 8.1, Prerequisites to Install the Workflow Engine.
Install the Workflow Engine on the new server and select Not to configure the database during the install. For more information, see Section 8.0, Installing Workflow Engine.
Start Apache Tomcat on the Workflow Engine server. For more information, see Section 3.4.3, Starting and Stopping Apache Tomcat.
