Hi,
I have a question regarding best use of the IFS environments. Where are people doing configuration changes? eg. Lobby (Data Source/Elements/Pages) and Quick reports. These activities require data. The DEV environment in Build Place which generally has a short life span does not hold data. Are people repetitively populating DEV with data to facilitate report development or are people using a Use Place environment? eg. CFG
Grateful for responses on how people are splitting their development activities in real world scenarios.
Thanks

It depends on how many environments you have in your company.
We have a separate environment for developers.
https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/ale/020_lifecycle/035_configuration_management/
You can use CFG to create Lobbies and Quick Report. Any supporting code development that requires a db connection is done in DEV. Any configuration needs to flow to the customer repository and other Use Place environments via a delivery of the Application Configuration Packages and/or export/import file manual application.
Care must be taken to follow the guidance of not basing customizations on configurations. Care must be taken to follow the correct process to commit the Application Configuration Packages to the repository so that conflicts are not caused by version variations.
