How to Adapt Appspace Intranet to a Site URL Change

When your organization’s site URL changes, it’s crucial to update the Appspace Intranet configuration to ensure seamless access and functionality.

This article provides Administrators with an outline for adapting the Appspace Intranet to the new site URL, preventing any disruptions to the intranet services.

Prerequisites

• The Global Administrator user role with SharePoint Farm Administrator permissions.

Configure SharePoint

Update the web application URL in SharePoint as per the following Update a web application URL and IIS bindings for SharePoint Server Microsoft help article, (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/SharePoint/administration/update-a-web-application-url-and-iis-bindings), and ensure the following configurations are made:

• When unextending, select Delete > Remove SharePoint from IIS Web Site. Do Not Delete the existing Appspace Intranet IIS Web Site.
• When reextending, use the existing Appspace Intranet IIS Web Site (changing host header + public URL)
• Once complete, redeploy the Appspace Intranet solution to the web application with the new URL:
  • Important: Execute an IISRESET to all farm servers before redeploying the solution.
  • Navigate to Central Administration > System Settings > Manage farm solutions > Beezy.wsp > Deploy Solution > Deploy To? … to the Appspace Intranet web application with an updated URL.

Configure Appspace Intranet

Once the SharePoint web application has been correctly configured with the new URL, proceed to make the required changes to the Appspace Intranet DB:

SELECT * FROM SiteCollection

There should only be one site collection with columns “SiteCollectionUrl” and “WebApplicationUrl” pointing to the old URL (check with Appspace Intranet support if there is more than one). These need to be updated with the new URL by entering the following SQL command:

UPDATE SiteCollection
SET SiteCollectionUrl='http://New_Intranet_SiteCollection_URL',
WebApplicationUrl='http://New_Intranet_WebApplication_URL'
GO

Next, proceed to update the Appspace Intranet main site collection URL:

UPDATE ConfigurationSetting
SET Value='http://New_Intranet_SiteCollection_URL'
WHERE Name='MainSiteCollection'
GO
