To transfer the Inca deployment, the following steps will be needed: • Copy Inca deployment directory and associated cron scripts over to XD machine • Install Postgres on XD machine and copy over sapa.sdsc.edu’s Postgres database to XD machine. • New Inca admin should install incat (Inca administrative GUI) on their machine • Copy over Inca reporter repository to new XD web space
