Hi.

I created a company called COMP1 in both my live and test environments. Both environments are on two different physical server.

I made all the major configuration setups in the live environment. I now wish to copy COMP1 from live into the test environment in order to conduct UAT. This idea is that we don't expect any major issues arising from the UAT so whatever minor issues arise during test we can make the changes in the live environment.

How can I get this done?

Steve

Hi Steve Whyte,

You can restore DB from Prod to Test to get a full copy. It requires some technical skills and also you need to cleanup data after copy, so test instance wont send invoices to real customers or affect integration etc. Here is an example of steps to do msdynamicsaxtips.blogspot.com/.../list-of-table-in-ax-2012-should-be.html but you may have to backup extra data because of customization you have.
