Is it possible to replicate PROD env of Celonis to QA env?

Hi,

 

We have two Celonis environments - PROD and QA. The latter one was used at the beginning for some tests of initial implementation of the tool and was left unused for a while now. As a result there is some old useless junk in it.

I would like to replicate what we have in PROD (not the data itself as there is not enough space in QA, but the entire Data integration part including ETLs and data models, Studio part with knowledge models, views, analysis and all KPI) to QA so that it could serve its correct purpose.

Is it possible to do it in an automated way?

 

Thanks,

Karol

    Will follow this thread to see if anybody responds with an answer, i am also looking for the same.

     

    There is an option to copy data pool from Prod to Sandbox(QA), but that option depends on your license. Here you can pick which data models to copy. Not sure if it copies all the schedules, data jobs, data models, logs, etc.,

    The solution @muthappan.alaga provides is indeed the easiest way to do so.

    For both Data Pools and Studio Packages, the option 'Copy to' should be available. For Data Pools, this might give you some errors for Data Connections that you then have to reconfigure, so be aware of this.

     

    If this option isn't possible for you (which might be case if your environments are on different realms (such as eu-1 and eu-5), the Celonis Content CLI is your only option. With a set of Python commands you can transfer all content you want.

    Hi,

     

    To give additional info on that. I have copied the data between PROD and QA using "Copy to" option shown by you above.

    As Jan-Peter mentioned in the post below I had to reconfigure data connections but that was easy fix.

     

    "Copy to" option does copy all the schedules, data jobs, and data models.

    It does not copy logs. Any data uploaded using flat files also is not copied so it needs to be uploaded manually.

    It does not copy any data that was extracted to PROD env. But that was pretty obvious seeing that QA env has a lot less space than PROD, and either way if you are planing on using QA you will use it to test Jobs with sampled data.

     

    As for the entire process of running all copied Jobs in QA env it can get a bit messy but it depends on the quality of transformation scripts that you have. The less weird junk you have the more easier it will be and you won't have to waste time on figuring out why some stuff is working on production but is crashing in QA.

     

    Overall, I found it to be a good way to figure out the things that I have inherited from previous team members.
