Impact of server rename on Lifecycle Query Engine and the Link Index Provider
You might encounter issues that relate to server rename and the Lifecycle Query Engine and the Link Index Provider.
After you complete the basic server rename for applications that are registered to the Jazz® Team Server, extra steps are required to ensure that Lifecycle Query Engine and the Link Index Provider can find the application data.
About this task
When you rename the applications' servers, you change the public URLs of referenced artifacts. You must complete the following steps to ensure that LQE can locate and index those artifacts.
Because the Lifecycle Query Engine does not support server rename by using the mapping file, the LQE indexes must be rebuilt after all the indexed applications are renamed.
- Preparing for server rename
- During server rename
- After server rename
- (Optional) Manually changing server or node names
Note: If you installed the Link Index Provider (LDX) application because you are using
configurations of versioned artifacts, repeat the rename process, using the appropriate URLs and
file names as noted in the steps.

Important: You must complete these post-rename steps
before verifying server rename for Report
Builder.
Procedure
(Optional) Manually changing server or node names
Because LQE and Link Index Provider (LDX) do not participate in the server
rename process for the CLM applications, the server names do not automatically change when rename is
complete. You can manually rename the LQE and LDX servers.
The server name for LQE and
for LDX is an identifier; a display name only. By default, to identify different LQE or LDX nodes,
the current host name is added as the node ID; it is set the first time each node is started.
However, the node ID does not have to be a host name; as administrator, you can change it to be
whatever you want.
Procedure
- In the Lifecycle Query Engine Administration page navigation, under Configuration, click LQE Nodes.
- For each server or node that you want to rename, click on the associated node link.
- Type a new name for the node.
