Transfer Application Server to a new Device



The Application Server installation in a device contains the following
parts:

Application shortcut
Installation Directory
Database
Registry

The steps to copy the application are the following:

1). By inspecting the application‘s shortcut, we can get the directory
(folder) where we have installed the application. So we can copy the
“Application Shortcut“ and all the directories that the shortcut
indicates. i.e., “Installation Directory.“

2). By opening the device‘s registry (Regedit), we search in the keys for
the “kosmos bos“ or “kosmosbos.“ By finding the key, we export it and its
contents to a reg file.

3) One of the subkeys of the previously searched key contains the
“connection string“ to the application‘s database. Go to this database
(usually MS SQL Server) and create a full backup of the referring
database.

That‘s all. We have until now copied the “application‘s shortcut,“ the
“installed directory,“ the “registry file,“ and the backup of the
“application‘s database.“ We have to transfer all those to the new
device.

The steps to install the copies to the new device are:

1) Copy the “Installation Directory“ copy to the new device. (Usually
under the “program files“)

2) Copy the “Application shortcut“ on the new device‘s desktop. After
that, modify the shortcut paths to address the new “Installation
Directory“.

3) Install MS SQL Server (Enterprise or Express version) to the new
device. After that, create a database using the same name as the previous
device‘s one. Be careful to use the same “database properties“ as the
previous one. After that, “restore“ the backup of the “application‘s
database“ to the new empty database. So we have the database updated as
the previous one.

4) Copy the “registry file“ to the new device‘s desktop and run it. This
running will insert some keys (“kosmos boss“ or “kosmosbos“) to its registry.
Now carefully adjust the values of the registry to conform to
the new installation. i.e., change any directory paths to establish the new installation.

The new installation is ready.

(In order not to change any of the registry values or shortcut paths,
place the “installation directory“ in the same path).
