Check out the Remedy Restore Tool by Carl Wilson (http://communities.bmc.com/docs/DOC-7710<https://communities.bmc.com/docs/DOC-7710> ), it handles nearly all the deprodification steps required when copying a production database to a non-prod environment. I normally adjust the licenses manually myself but it depends on your version of ARS. If you are on version 7 or newer (I think) it’s quite easy to just change the numbers in the console; if you are on 6.x or older it will be a lot more painful due to the old licensing model.

Can I copy our production db to our dev server as an means of syncing dev to production. The end goal being to make my dev look just like production. Our dev server does not have the same number of licenses as production naturally. Is this something that can be done with a basic db copy. _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
