Bring Staging Instance inline with Production

  • January 11, 2023

How can I replicate the production instance of Campaign Standard into the Staging environment. With packages, it seems that this isn't done if we use the Platform and Administration as some changes aren't sent over. Is that correct or will the export/import of these two packages bring the staging environment completely inline with production?

Hi @michaelwilding,

 

Comments on the questions asked.

if I export/import the two default packages will it bring them completely inline? - Yes. For example, if you have a custom resource named "test" it will get as part of the export package from prod and during import, it will update the existing "test" resource in the stage. If the custom resource is not available it will create one in stage environment.

 

If there are additional elements in the staging instance not in the production, I assume they will stay and still need to be removed manually? - Yes. Any additional elements in the stage environment need to be removed manually.

 

Thanks!

Hi Michael,

Export/import of two packages should bring the staging environment in line with the production, provided you are not using default IDs as mentioned in the public documentation.

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/campaign-standard/using/managing-processes-and-data/importing-and-exporting-data/managing-packages.html?lang=en#exporting-a-package

 

Are you facing any issues while exporting/Importing in terms of any data loss

Thank you for the reply. We currently can't export these packages because the Campaign default thumbnails, made by Adobe, are not being served from a secure URL and so the exports fail. There's a bug open for it to be fixed. 

 

I was trying to find documentation on bringing the environments in line with each other. So to triple confirm, if I export/import the two default packages it will bring them completely inline? This means it will update existing elements with the same ID's and add new ones?

 

If there are additional elements in the staging instance not in the production, I assume they will stay and still need to be removed manually?
