Gravity Copy Environment
Overview
There are four steps to coping one environment (database) over another:
- Copy the database
- Remove the Admin Mode on the copied DB
- Update the Gravity License on the copied DB
- Turn on Workflows in the copied environment
Notes:
- Environments can be configured as either Production or Sandbox. It is not possible to directly duplicate a Production environment. To do so, you must first convert it to a Sandbox environment, duplicate the environment, and then convert it back to Production.
- Gravity license keys are associated with the environment ID. When duplicating to a new environment, it is necessary to update the license key.
