It depends.
What scale do you want it, what kit have you got, etc.
What testing do you want to carry out? With you asking the question in here, I’d hazard a guess at Supervisor level development. Best way forward then is to have a separate server with the same RDBMS as your main BO repository. You’d probably be best remote accessing the server (via Remote Desktop Connection for example) so that the bomain.key for the dev environment is the same as in live.
So, assuming that’s the case, the steps to get yourself a brand new repository on your test server are:
1/ Create a blank database with the relevant access
2/ Define an odbc link to it
3/ Make sure that your licence files are accessible from that server (assuming v6)
4/ Insert BO CD and install desktop products.
5/ Log in to Supervisor and click Admin on the login dialog
6/ Define the connection and click through the screens and your new repository database will be built
7/ Create a backup General Supervisor and any other users and away you go!
i have one more dought on it
i have a universe created in production
now i have created the develpment envronment
now when i login in development env.
if i chage the universe objects and joins does it effect the production env.
or
if i login in prod and change does it effect devlopment universe
or
BO is handling seperate universes for developement & production
how does it work
