Backing up to a test environment
Services
When you backup and restore a database to a secondary environment you are also restoring items such as:
- Crystal Report schedules
- Absence event notifications
- MessageMedia
- DocMan
- SIF
- VSN
Many of these can be turned off by disabling the Synergetic service on the test environment- obviously if you need to use these for testing then this will need to be a consideration.
Core API config value
There is a config key Middleware|Core|URL that is configured for the Synergetic instance to connect to a respective web service middleware.
If you are using a separate instance of this for your test instance, this will need to be changed accordingly.
As the process of setting up and configuring a test environment can be quite complex, we recommend that you Request a Product or Service Installation via the Upgrades and Installations service desk.
