Hi everyone,

I’m currently working with an IFS Build Place DEV environment that has expired after around 30–40 days. I have access to Build Place, and I need to create a new environment within Build Place by cloning the existing DEV environment.

However, I have the following constraints:

  • I cannot use Test Data Management (TDM)

  • I should not contact the IFS Support team

My requirement is to replicate the existing DEV environment (including configurations and data as much as possible) into a new Build Place environment.

Has anyone faced a similar situation?

  • Is there any way to clone or replicate the environment within Build Place under these constraints?

  • What would be the best approach to minimize manual effort?

Any suggestions, workarounds, or best practices would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!
