How to change the Loftware Print Server that is used by a Loftware Web Access installation

Problem

For whatever reason, an existing Loftware Print Server is migrated to a different server, requiring the Loftware Web Access installation to point to the new server.

Explanation

The Loftware Web Access points to a specific Loftware Print Server. This is set up during the Loftware Web Access installation. However, there may come a time when the Loftware Print Server the Loftware Web Access installation is pointing to changes, requiring a reconfiguration to point to the new Loftware Print Server.

Solution

To repoint the Loftware Web Access installation to a new Loftware Print Server, perform the following steps;

1. On the Loftware Web Access server, Stop the Apache Tomcat Service on the LWA Server
2. Open LoftwareWebServices.properties file found in $tomcat\webapps\axis2\WEB-INF\classes  (where $tomcat is the location where Apache Tomcat is installed)
3. Modify the value for  LPS_ADDRESS*=<enter the IP address of the LPS server here>*
4. Save
5. Open Cache_system.properties file found in $tomcat\webapps\lwaservices\WEB-INF\classes
6. Modify the value for LpsCacheSource.LpsAddress*=<enter the IP address of the LPS server here>*
7. Save
8. Restart the Apache Tomcat service
