Hello,

We had a delivery of instance called IT1 and we want to copy it to another server UAT for user acceptance testing.

There are two methods in my opinion

• for the database:
  • copy the oracle datafiles from IT1 to UAT
  • OR using the oracle datapump method
• for the windows server:
  • we copied the all the ifsroot files from IT to UAT
  • changed the confuguration json and xml files with the right values
• for installing the MT we followed the doc 
• for updating DB the information with the new configuration files
  • we used the https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/24r1/070_remote_deploy/010_installing_fresh_system/200_installing_ifs_cloud/035_ifs_cloud_ifsinstaller/020_installer_actions/

    .\installer.cmd --set action=dbinstaller --values E:\ifsroot\config\ifscloud-values.yaml --values solutionset.yaml

    but this gives a lot of errors and takes hours, (do we really need to do this step ?)
  • and then 

    .\installer.cmd --set action=mtinstaller --values E:\config\ifscloud-values.yaml --values solutionset.yaml

    this step worked 

• for installing the kubernetes:
  • we followed https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/24r2/070_remote_deploy/010_installing_fresh_system/030_preparing_server/50_management_server/010_Setting_up_An_Environment/#main_configuration_parameters_file

    .\main.ps1 -resource 'INIT'...
    .\main.ps1 -resource 'KEY'
    .\main.ps1 -resource 'KUBERNETES'
    etc

We are looking for a clear guideline how to copy a Delivery by IFS to a a DEV plateform and UAT (user acceptance testing and willing to share our findings (24R2)

Best regards
