We've got three (well four if you count my local dev) environments and follow a pretty strict process of data always goes from prod -> other environments via a db clone and code always pushes up via local->dev->pre-prod->prod with varying degrees of QA along
the way. We also QA integrations the same way. I typically clone the production data before any QA process to ensure that the QA environment is as close to prod as possible. Long story short... we follow a hybrid of #1 & #3. Tests of code changes & representative
data in QA and then full runs in production. <br>

Hi all,</p>

This question isn’t aspace-centric, but for those of you that have multiple deployment strings (dev, qa, production) and that use the PUI, what is your best practice for entering new data or massaging existing data?</p>

Do you test load/edit in QA then re-run the job in production?</li><li class="x_MsoListParagraph" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in; font-size:11pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; margin-left:0in">
Or do you load/edit in QA and replicate/auto-deploy to production? Can you just copy the database and re-index?</li><li class="x_MsoListParagraph" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in; font-size:11pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; margin-left:0in">

Our old process was like #1, but we had separate systems for generating EAD and public facing search/discovery. With Aspace we are adding additional customers, more data types, less user command/control, etc. Is there a sweet spot for ensuring data integrity
but have non-burdensome and flexible workflows?</p>
