Issue/Introduction
At times, it is required to move the UIM CABI installation from one server to a different server.
Whether if to change OS type, or because a server needs to be decommissioned or to move from On PREM to a Cloud server, what are the steps to migrate CABI to a different server?
Can we keep the existing custom CABI Reports in the new CABI server? How can we export/import CABI Reports?
Environment
Release : UIM 20.4.x, CABI 8.x

Resolution
The steps for migrating your CABI to a Different Machine, regardless of the fact that is on-prem or cloud-based, would be the following:
1. Snapshot/Backup the Current CABI Server. + Make a local copy of CABI and WASP folders to be used to replicate any previous settings in the new server if needed.
2. Snapshot/backup the new Target Server
2. Export any custom report from CABI
a) find the custom report
b) right click and export:
3. Once all Reports are exported proceed with deleting CABI from the original server:
Cabi cleanup process for uninstallation or reinstall (broadcom.com)
4. Once CABI is completely uninstalled from the original server, deploy cabi on the target system following the Docs as a clean installation:
Install or Upgrade for a Bundled CABI Server (broadcom.com)
5. Once CABI is installed on the new machine re-establish any previous configuration such as HTTPS configuration, following the installation docs.
6. Reimport the Exported CABI by importing the reports using
Manage > Server Settings > Import
