Changing Server ID for Stash Cloned Instances

This page tells you how to obtain a new Server ID to use in a cloned instance of Stash. 

If you would like to change the server ID on your cloned instance, you will need to acquire a new server ID for your test environment by installing a fresh version of Stash on the new server.

1. Install a new, temporary instance of Stash. Make sure the installation points to a new empty home directory.
2. Start the new, temporary Stash instance.

3. On the Wizard
   - Choose Internal Database
   
   - Extract the Server ID of the new installation by clicking 'Next'
   
   
   

4. The 'Server ID' of your cloned instance is stored in your database and can be verified as below:

   select * from app_property;

   This will return something like this:

   mysql> select * from app_property;

5. In order to change the value of your Stash instance please stop your cloned instance. Refer to Starting and stopping Stash if you don't know how to do that.

6. Using the the value of the server.id obtained on step #3, run this query on your cloned instance's DB:

   update app_property set prop_value = '<ID>' where prop_key = 'server.id';

   You need to change <ID> in the above query with the new server id obtained on step #3. The format is 4 sets of 4 capitalized alpha numeric characters separated by hyphens. Example: BA8J-RYK8-ABC4-KK8N

7. Restart your Stash test instance. Refer to Starting and stopping Stash if you don't know how to do that.
