Hi,
I have a question because I am looking for a best practice tip / or a step-by-step list.
We currently start with our first Appian instance / process (CELEBRATE!) in production. We had an intense data migration task to complete in the last week.
We also have a second environment (approval) which we want to use as a mirror of the production environment, in order to
a.) tackle production errors and work on solutions
b.) improve our application in production step by step before staging it onto the prod environment

We are looking for the most convinient way to synchronize our approval instance (including operational data) with our production instance periodically, because we do not want to / are not able to repeat the migration process again on the approval instance.
On the other hand we would like to start with both systems in the same state into our new world if possible.
Secondly it would open up a way to follow the devlopment of production dat...

I'm not sure why you want to replicate production data to other instance. But, the steps are not any different from migration.

Basically, once you have the approval instance. Automate these steps:
1) bring down both the instances - Web/App server then Appian engines.
2) Bring down both DB for both instances - both primary and business DBs.
3) Copy Appian KDBs and _admin from Prod to Approval.
4) Copy primary instance DB (primary and business DBs) from Prod to Approval.
5) Start both instances - Appian engines then Web/App server.
