Setting Up the Test Environment

• The test and production systems are stable and the data is safe.
• The upgrade is successful and does not adversely impact the production
system.
Setting Up the Test Environment
Ideally, you should set up a dedicated hardware configuration (including
subnets) and Adaptive Server exactly like your production system. Creating an
identical system lets you make valid comparison, perform real tuning as part of
migration effort, and if you wish to do so, switch the test system to production
later on. Create the test system as described in the sections below:
• Make Backups
• Use Scripts to Create the Test System
• Create Your Databases by Loading Backups
• If the Test Environment Is Not an Exact Duplicate
Make Backups
Make backups of the production system. You can use these to populate your
test system and to restore it when necessary.
Use Scripts to Create the Test System
Using the object creation scripts you gathered, wrote or reverse engineered in
Chapter 3, “Analyze: Documenting Your Environment”, build a test
environment matching your production system.
