Creating A UAT Version of Decisions
Comments
-
Hi,
I am trying to set up a UAT version of our production Decisions instance, I.e. take a copy of what is in production now, as opposed to performing a clean install. How can I do this?

[font=Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]All the flows, forms, portal settings, etc are stored in the Decisions database. So backing up the Decisions database is the most important step you can take. [/font]
[font=Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]However in addition to the Decisions database you should also backup the following to ensure that a machine could be rebuilt entirely from backups. C:Program FilesDecisionsFileStorage* -- This contains any files that have been added to the portal as File References (FileData is stored in the database). [/font]
[font=Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
[/font]
[font=Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]If you have not created any File References, this folder may be empty. C:Program FilesDecisionsDecisions Services ManagerInstancesControlKeys.dat -- This file contains your encryption keys to decrypt any encrypted database values. [/font]
[font=Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]This file will not exist if you have not created any encrypted data) Then restore the Production Database backup and all the above mentioned backups on your UAT environment. [/font]
[font=Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
[/font]
[font=Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]And run the Decisions Installer of the same version on your UAT environment pointing to the UAT database.[/font] -
[font=Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]There doesn’t appear to by a keys.dat in the specified folder. [/font][font=Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I even checked to see if the file was hidden or in another Decisions Services Manager folder. Where would these be located?[/font]
-
[font=Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]If no keys are showing in the specified location,then there is no encrypted data. Keys.dat file are created once a encryption event has taken place. If this file does not exist, you can ignore it and proceed further.[/font]
Howdy, Stranger!
