I agree with Ken that you should give GXS a call. However, for a test or dev server the license fee is around $2,000 and this allows you to use the # parties and transformations you have licensed in the production environment. Steville Mims

There are several questions here, the first of which is licensing. All of the software is sold by license and obviously since you are looking to do more than just make a copy of the data, you need to make sure you are in compliance with the licensing agreement for your specific business arrangement with GXS. You may also want to check into using virtual services, (i.e. VMware) to actually implement your test environment. This may also allow you to share your test needs for EDI with other IT needs throughout the company (i.e. backup or test SQL server, backup or test accounting system, etc.). Other than that, I'll relinquish the floor to those who may have more experience with this area. But ultimately you should make a call to GXS support, regardless of what feedback you get here.

Then place this copy of the system on a separate server. The idea is to create a temporary test area that, for a moment, will be identical to production. Then when it is time to Upgrade to the latest version /release... and migrate my data and maps... I can do a dry run or two to make sure my understanding of the procedure instructions are clear and I do not find myself at a prompt without an answer. This process might also apply for Disaster recovery.
