Migration of Metadata from one server to another

Hello,

We have a sandbox server, which is used for Research and other integrations, Now we are looking to copy the kdb files and metadata from Production server to this sandbox server.
I would like to know if will there be any impact if we perform this KDB file from prod to sandbox server.

Basically we would like to have the all the artifacts of production server to POC server.
Let me know apart from KDB files and D:/Appian/admin folder, do we need to do anything.

Note: We are looking to migrate only the artifacts.

Regards,
Sandeep.

  • Okay This was very helpful information, but what I understand is if I move the kdb files and accdocs folder from prod to sandbox, then my exsisting artifacts will be lost, and also the users will be moved from prod to sandbox. I hope users should not be a problem, as we have the same list of users in sandbox as of prod.........
    But seems like my exsisting artifacts will be lost.
    Let me discuss this internally with the team here, and see how best we can move the artifact.

    But this is sure, that move the application one by one is a very tedious job, as we have many applications and patches which may lead to issues, So we are looking the option if we can handle it at the server level.
    In other words, it would be nothing but cleaning the sandbox and performing the upgrade steps.
