Transferring Your InsightCM Data to a New Server

Follow the process outlined below to transfer your InsightCM data and configuration to a new server:

  1. Stop the InsightCM and InsightCM MongoDB services.

  2. Locate the database and data directories on disk and transfer them to the new server. These are the default locations on disk:

    • Database Directory: C:\ProgramData\Cutsforth\InsightCM\MongoDB

    • Data Directory: C:\ProgramData\Cutsforth\InsightCM\Files

  3. Install the version of InsightCM that you were previously using on the old server. Be sure to select the correct database and data directories if you are not using the default locations.

    • If you intend to also upgrade to a newer version of InsightCM, Cutsforth recommends first installing the version you were previously using to ensure that the data transfer was successful. Once you have confirmed your new server is working properly, you can upgrade to a newer version.

  4. Configure the server’s transceiver settings and reconnect all of your devices by selecting Connection » Reset Connection from the Devices page.

  5. Additional configuration may still be required to connect to your historian, enable SSL connections, and integrate with Windows Active Directory. See Configuring InsightCM for more information.
