Summary

This is a very good best practice way to test the latest Docu Performer (DPlatest Performer Suite (PS) releases WHILE keeping your productive DP PS DB untouched and running.

Tips

Solution: Split up your DP PS environment into a productive and test environment.

1. Create a PROD db DB (you probably already are using one)
2. Create a TEST dbDB (in most cases the backup of your PROD DB, see step 3)
3. Backup your PROD db DB and restore it into the TEST dbDB
4. Install the latest Docu Performer Suite Release on the TEST dbDB.
5. If those tests have been successful you can update your PROD db DB with the latest Docu Performer latest Performer Suite update.
6. If those tests run unsuccessful, e.g. the DB update fails - you can still continue to work with your PROD db DB uninterrupted.
