After you copy the database, don't forget to turn off any notifications or escalations that you wouldn't want running in test. Otherwise, people may start getting a bunch of emails from your test system. That really confuses people. Not that I would know! I mean, so I hear....

Hi Mary,

When I've done this in the past, we've copied the database from production back to test, removed any 'sensitive' data and then migrated any coding
updates that needed to be changed.  A couple of items to watch for:

- You need to make sure your ARAdmin ID to the DB is the same (or have it
reset)
- All your workflow needs to be server independent (you can export to a def
file and evaluate)
- All test user accts will need to be reset (I've usually exported those
and imported after the database is restored.
- probably need to check external interfaces and application settings to
make sure they are pointed properly.

With all the ancillary forms that are used in remedy, I've found this to be
the easiest way to get all the data moved intact.

Hi,

We are looking for suggestions to sync up all data, i.e. foundation,
configuration & transaction data from our production server onto our test server where we need all the prod-like data and keeping all record IDs in
their forms.  Your feedback is gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,

~Mary
