Synchronize an authoring environment with a production environment
If we create the authoring environment after creating a production environment, synchronize the production and authoring environment to ensure that the authoring environment accurately reflects the production environment. Also synchronize the authoring environment and production environment if at any point our production-ready data on the authoring environment does not accurately reflect the production environment. This can be caused by changes made directly on the production environment, either one large change or a series of smaller, incremental changes that cause the information about the authoring environment and production environment to no longer be synchronized.
Procedure
- Use the stagingcopy utility to copy all data from the production environment database to the production-ready database on the authoring environment.
See Staging environment limitations.
- Deploy the application setup with the production environment into the authoring environment.
