If your SIS is moving to a different server, you will need to update the LYNX app application.properties file on your application server. To do this, complete each step below.
Note
The following instructions do not apply to API versions of LYNX that do not use a locally hosted Java app.
Stop the LYNX app from running
On a Windows server:
- Open the Windows Services app
- Right-click on your LYNX app service
- Typically, this is named LYNX-APP, LYNX-APP-PROD, or LYNX-APP-TEST
- From the menu, select Stop

For Linux instructions, see the ‘Test Execution of Background Scripts’ section in LYNX-APP Installation for Linux.
Locate the application.properties file
The default install location for the LYNX application.properties file (on Windows) is:
- ~LYNX-APP-TEST\Config
AND - ~LYNX-APP-PROD\Config
Update the db-url value in the "SIS DATABASE" section of the file to reflect your new SIS server location
Remember to save your changes.
