This is a good way to test the latest Docu Performer (DP) releases WHILE keeping your productive DP DB untouched and running.
Solution: Split up your DP environment into a productive and test environment.
- Create a PROD DB (you probably already are using one)
- Create a TEST DB (in most cases the backup of your PROD DB, see step 3)
- Backup your PROD DB and restore it into the TEST DB
- Install the latest Docu Performer Release on the TEST DB.
- If those tests been successful you can update your PROD DB with the latest Docu Performer update.
- If those tests run unsuccessful, e.g. the DB update fails - you can still continue to work with your PROD DB uninterrupted.
