This topic describes some considerations and actions that you can take to move the transaction logs for an application server to another server.
Why and when to perform this task

Steps for this task
If the server is in a different cell from the original server, you need to ensure that there is a JAAS alias available to the server that was used by the original server for accessing XA resources. In this case you should use wsadmin to construct the aliases, because if you use the administrative console to create the alias, then the node name gets prefixed to the alias.
All the transaction log files for the original server need to be moved to a directory accessible by the new server. This can be accomplished by either renaming the transaction log directory or copying all the contents to the new server's transaction log directory before starting the new server.
