REFRESHING THE DEVELOPMENT AND ACCEPTANCE SCHEMAS

Prior to refreshing the development and acceptance schemas back up the table
TR47_CAWIS_GENERAL_PROPS. See the section REGION-SPECIFIC DATA BACKUPS

NOTE : The Development and acceptance schemas should be refreshed with Production data every 3 or 4 years to assist with client test scenarios. However, CAWIS has size issues which cause problems when refreshing the test regions. It contains a high volume of data and there is a great deal of daily production data activity. (AD issuance, AAIR and SDR submissions etc…)

...

However, its recommended that the DBA be requested to CLONE Production into the desired target region, rather than duplicate. Though both approaches have failed before.

Ensure all DBLinks are pointed to the correctly corresponding schema after the refresh
DEV to DEV,

ACC to ACC etc…

BATCH JOBS

ENSURE that any automated triggers for Batch jobs (CCARCS-CAWIS sync, Project Notifications) are inactive in all regions except Production. If the synchronization routine is run in Non-Production region, it can do a great deal of damage to the test data.

REGION-SPECIFIC DATA BACKUPS

Backup the following data into a TXT file and attach to the PBI before beginning the refresh (or clone)

...

SELECT
'UPDATE TR47_CAWIS_GENERAL_PROPS SET PROPERTY_VALUE = ''' ||
PROPERTY_VALUE || ''' WHERE PROPERTY_NAME = ''' ||
PROPERTY_NAME || ''' ; ' AS UPD1
FROM TR47_CAWIS_GENERAL_PROPS ;

...

AFTER A TEST REGION DATA REFRESH, PERFORM THE FOLLOWING TASKS

PASSWORDS

1)Passwords on all Userids are to be set to “XXXXXX”

...

ALL of the newest AD documents, issued since the LAST data refresh for the target region, need to be copied FROM Production, into the folder for the corresponding target region. This is important for testing the AD subsystem , Project Tracking System (PTS) , Information programs and routing.
