Refresh SANDBOX1 database from SANDBOX2

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 355

Hi Guys 

I have a question about refreshing  database in Dynamics AX 365 in No production environements .

Actually we have one SANDBOX for DEV and I we create another SANDBOX2 (DEV) used by another developer , the two sandox's are  Tiers1 (Add-on) linked in LCS . Now we want to refresh this sandbox  (Code and Database) .

the question is How we can do this ? :

I suppose the Code we can get it using VSTS , but the database I don't know how can we do this ? 

I tried to restore backup from SANDOX 1 to SANDBOX2 but don't work because copy/pask from ENvironnement 1 to Environnement 2 take 2 days and i had error at the end . There are another solution please to refresh different no production environnemnt ? 

Question : 

1 : How can we restore database from SanNdox1 to Sandbox2 ?

2 : When I get latest version  with VSTS ,I get just the code or also all Customization in database (New tables or new Fileds ) ?

Note: we are in implementation phase so  the production is not deployed we have just SANDBOX1 and SANDBOX2 and UAT

Thank you

    Regarding 2, VSTS contains code and metadata, such as classes, tables, forms, data entities and so on (but not the database). If in doubt, simply look at what files you have in VSTS.

    Database backup / restore should work; I can't comment on the error without more information. I'm noty even sure what you did.

    Thank you Martin

    -I need to get  Code and data

    So the code I can get it from VSTS , and data with a Backup

    The issue  is when I run the  past  after 10 minutes it stops without error.
