Copying Test to Live

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 3,494

Hi:

I'm very used to copying GP company databases "live to test".

But, after creating a test company, importing customer and vendor master data, importing beginning customer and vendor balances for the new fiscal year, and importing opening G/L balances for the new fiscal year into a test company, we may want to look at copying "test" into a new and separate live GP company database.

As long as this is the only data that I have imported and set up in test, is there anything wrong with such a database copy?

If not, the only thing that I know to do is to reimport the data into this new live GP company.

Thanks!

John

    You can certainly create a new live shell company.  Then backup your test company and then restore that .bak file into the live company.  You would then run the normal live to test scripts against the new live GP company.
