To use an existing View Composer database, you must migrate the RSA key container from the source physical or virtual machine on which the existing VMware Horizon View Composer service resides to the machine on which you want to install the new VMware Horizon View Composer service.
You must perform this procedure before you install the new VMware Horizon View Composer service.
Prerequisites
Verify that the Microsoft .NET Framework and the ASP.NET IIS registration tool are installed on the source and destination machines. See Prepare a Microsoft .NET Framework for Migrating RSA Keys.
Procedure
What to do next
Install the new VMware Horizon View Composer service on the destination machine. Provide the DSN and ODBC data source information that allows View Composer to connect to the same database information that was used by the original VMware Horizon View Composer service. For installation instructions, see "Installing View Composer" in the Horizon 7 Installation document.
Complete the steps to migrate View Composer to a new machine and use the same database. See Migrate View Composer with an Existing Database.
