Posted on by 4,131

Hi expert,

We are trying to configure a golden configuration environment. However if we have dataconverse setup for this environment, and is it okay to back up and restore this to another testing environment which do not have dataconverse setup?

Thanks,

    Hi Yuji,

    what do you mean by "dataconverse"?

    Hi Nikolaos,

    Typo, dataverse.

    The scenario is if we have UAT environment which configured with another dataverse instance (e.g. CE_UAT). And the customer would like to copy data from UAT to SIT environment (and SIT also configured with another CE_SIT instance), do we need to manually configure this after copy database?

    Is there any similar concept for D365FO with this article talent.asgcrm.com/.../

    It should be mostly for Dual write scenario. You needs to unlink the envt first then go-through below article to link current SIT to correct CE envt, after you restore the Golden database to SIT.

    Thanks Leo,

    If I had FO-A environment linked to CE-A environment, and now have FO-A environment link to CE-B environment, would the data sync between FO-A and CE-A still stored in FO-A? Is it possible to resync everything from scratch?

    Thanks,

    Don't think so. DW is essentially data copy which means some data from CE-A has been copied to FO-A as part of it. This portion of data from CE-A will not be removed even you re-link it to CE-B. The only approach I see for now is you make a backup for FO-A before link it to CE-A initially. So that you can restore it after you unlink CE-A and before you link it to CE-B.

    Thanks Leo,

    And the dual write setup itself - data entities mapping etc. Is there any quick way to restore it, if we need to link it again, it seems the configurations for the entities mappings are manual process. Anyway to automate this process?

    Not sure about this. Probably the mapping data is stored in CDS database. If CDS database table data can be extracted then it would be possible to restore it quickly after link FO to new CDS envt.
