Hello, I was wondering if it possible to change the Portal web adaptor URL to a new URL without breaking portal, the federated server, hosting server, etc? For example, if existing URL is https://gis.agency.com/portal and I want to change it to https://gis.agency.org/portal. I'm getting conflicting information. I know an agency that had to change and it broke their portal. They had to rebuild in a new environment. I found the document "Unregistering ArcGIS Web Adaptor with Portal for ArcGIS" and I think this is what I need to do to remove the web adaptor but concern it will break everything. The reasons for this are:
I know I will need to update web application URLs for the custom web mapping apps that I created so that does not bother me. I'm mainly concern about breaking the CORE products: Portal, Server, and Data Store.
Thank you in advance.
Thanks Brian! I appreciate your input. I am in a very similar situation. When you say "watching", how are you doing that? What are your methods?
I spend a lot of time digging around in the innards. I try to solve problems by understanding how things work. (It's probably against the rules.) That means I look (but don't touch!) inside set up files like everywhere in arcgisportal/content/items/* and all the JSON files that are maintained as part of a Web AppBuilder app.
Last week it was "pagx" files that are part of my print layouts stored in Server. So, arcgisserver/directories/*
A younger more naive version of myself would say "just do a global search and repair" but experience has taught me it would really be "global search and destroy".
Ye be at the Edge! Here there be dragons!
