Test Server Question

We're in the same boat. We are setting up an identical 'TEST' platform to mirror production for all the regular reasons (patches, upgrade, etc) and that will include the ability to upgrade/test all of our service connect routines.

We are also making a small Virtual Server on one of out VM hosts where we will install only the basic Progress appserver layer so that we can have a dedicated Service Connect 'DEV' platform (the admin tool, workflow designer, etc will be installed here as well).

What we've found in using the .Net refs, is that we've been introducing corruption in the workflows when trying to redirect them between Test/Pilot/Production, and that the other shortcuts are not perfectly reliable. So, with this setup, we can move our production workflows from Prod, to Dev, to Test without introducing the corruption and nicely sandbox each iteration of testing.

Good luck!

I am in the process of setting up a test server so we can begin to test service packs/patches for E9. I would like to use my Service Connect server as my test server, but I'm a little nervous that it will have a negative effect on Service Connect.

Has anyone ever done this? If so, did you experience any issues with Service Connect?

I would recommend against that, only because of the fact that it could
potentially, although it is highly unlikely.

I would use another server, that way you can put another install of service
connect with it to test that as well, a lot of people seem to forget to test
that part with an upgrade.
