Need steps to generate new Server ID for an existing Bamboo instance

[David Corley]

We're just after purchasing our second Bamboo instance, and want to link it to our Jira instance.

However, because the second Bamboo instance was setup as a clone of the original Bamboo instance, both instances share the same Server ID.

Due to https://studio.atlassian.com/browse/APL-629 , we cannot link Jira to both instances at the same time because they both have the same Server ID.

I need to generate a new Server ID for the new Bamboo instance, but I don't know how to go about it.

I'd like a set of steps for generating a new Server ID, and then configuring the second Bamboo instance with the new server ID.

Hi David,

I've run run tests locally and was able to obtain a new Server ID. You just need to trigger a new Bamboo installation so that it can generated a new ID:

1. Shutdown Bamboo and change the Bamboo instance Home-Directory path to a different location (at file webapp/WEB-INF/classes/bamboo-init.properties). Example: /Users/jsmith/Apps/bamboo341-home-new

(keep the existing Home-Dir untouched, as it contains your instance's data)

2. Run Bamboo. When opening http://localhost:8085 in the browser, Bamboo will show you a new Server ID. Copy it and save it.

3. Shutdown Bamboo. Restore the original Home-Directory path to file "webapp/WEB-INF/classes/bamboo-init.properties".

4. In the original Home-Dir, file bamboo.cfg.xml, replace the old Server ID with the new one.

5. Restart Bamboo. Because of the bug, remove and then create again the AppLinks.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Renan
