Unified Developer Environment - Refresh transactional data?

(4) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by b_radlyjames 3,157
I have been setting up a Unified Developer Environment and have gotten to the point where I would like actual data from my business.
I have a .bacapc and .bak from a tier 1 F&O environment, however, I don't see a way to restore those to the UDE DB.
 
Is it possible to restore data to a UDE?

    In short NO, you cannot not import you .bacpac or .bak directly into a UDE. The UDE database is on the cloud(Dataverse).  You can restore or copy a Tier2 or Prod database into the UDE.

    In order for you to copy all transaction data you will need to do the following:
     
    1. Login to PPAC and go into environments.
    2. Make sure that the UDE environment and the environment from where you want to copy the data are both Managed environments marked Yes.
    3. Click and open the source environment.
    4. Now press Copy (present at the top) -> Everything (as you require the data to be restored on the UDE)
    5. In Target environment select the UDE you want to copy the data to.
    6. And lastly click copy to proceed and wait for the operation run to complete.
