8/15/2006 3:24:02 AM    Dev/Staging server out of sync with Production server
Hi there. 
 
Any assistance regarding this would be greatly appreciated. 
 
I recently took over a MSIB21 environment using Commerce Server 2002, 
 
Content Management Server 2002 and Windows 2003. 
 
The problem I am facing is this. 
 
The Live server seems to be configured correctly but the Dev/Staging 
 
(installed on one server) does not refelct the structure of the live server 
 
and this is causing a lot of problems for us. From what I have gathered: 
 
All the commerce databases are stored in MSIB21_commerce database but in Dev 
 
the data is stored all over the place located in databases prefixed by MSCS. 
 
The only configuration setting that is identical for the two servers is for 
 
the Marketing Site Resources. 
 
I have been requested to sort this out but with all of this confusion I 
 
would appreciate any advice as tio how I should procedd with the 
 
configuration. I was thinking of packaging the live server site into a pup 
 
file and then importing that onto the dev server. IIS has also been 
 
configured differently for each machine and also need to sort this out and as 
 
such I gather that the pup file would be able to replicate the necessary 
 
resources between machines. 
 
Again, any assistance would be greatly appreciated. 
 
Many thanks.
