One of the questions that has been raised is the ability to automate the deployment from UAT to Production, given that both environments should be the same.
I'm familiar with old approaches that involve scripting and properties/status files to store parameters but was interested to hear from anyone that's looked at how to do this with the Logistics Manager given a lot of the information about scheduling/parameters is stored in a database.
My thought process was:
a) if UAT and Production were identical, could I just copy the database file and find the lxa file, copying it across?
b) Could I reference a configured LXA in the logistics manager in a way that I could both extract and then insert the information from UAT db to Production db, copying the lxa that was uploaded to UAT
c) something else?
Interested in your views, etc. Also curious to understand if this is a short term problem and may not exist in the future, or you would want to deal with it differently again.
