Hi @vivuu

It looks like you are running into similar problem as described here.

The root cause of this problem may be CWD-4968 or CWD-4999 depending on what changed operating system or Java.

Please use the workaround as described in CWD-4968

I understand you need a guide for replicating your Production Crowd server in a Test environment. I hope it is to test an upgrade. :)

We have an article on how to create a test environment for Crowd:

Migrating Crowd Between Servers

Please review it and let us know any questions that arise. We are happy to answer.

We follwed the below steps and getting error.

 

1)Installed fresh instance of crowd in test environment.
2) Copied the Crowd home directory to the Test Environment
3) restord the Prod DB in Test SQlDB
3) Edited the crowd.config .xml to point the test DB
4?) Restarted the Crowd service.


But we are getting below error

"HTTP Status 404 - /crowd

We have migrated all our applications, Crowd, Jira, Bitbucket, Confluence to Test environment from Prod Servers.(By application data and DB data store to Test environment)


But , The application integration to Test Crowd and between Test applications how can make to Test Configuration for these applications, without affecting PROD

1)Test Crowd Should authenticate all test environment applications (Currently test crowd containing map with Prod application IP Addresses)

2)How The integration Between These applications in test environment can be replaced to Test application integration by removing PROD links

Since Production Data are copied and DB are restored, Now test applications will be having old trace with the production instances. How to revert it with test instances and what are the files need to be edited for enabling the integration

To make the Crowd instance "talk" to the test applications, please set up the test applications as described on this page: Adding an Application

Likewise, the Applications menu in Crowd is where you would remove the Production applications.

You will also need to add a directory to the Crowd test instance and map it to the applications.

Hi @vivuu,

 

Is there anything in particular you would like to ask about this replication?

In general Crowd does not actively connect to applications connected to it, so the test replica should not affect your working production environment.

Once you have your testing environment, I encourage you to try the newest Crowd 3.0.1 version on it.
