Sandbox Refresh

• Happens twice a year - February and August

• Good to remind people the week before (when the release occurs)

After the sandbox is copied over, you have to fix a bunch of configuration stuff.

• General admin pieces

  • Go to Configuration > General > Alma Logo and Color Scheme to change the color back to the sandbox yellow/gold so it’s distinct from production

  • Go to Configuration > General > Allowed SFTP Connections and relist the SFTP server

  • Go to Configuration > General > SFTP Definitions and edit Duke SFTP Server to point to the /sandbox directory instead of /production

  • Go to Configuration > General > Allowed Emails and re-add any emails used for testing / by staff

• Fulfillment

  • Fix the date format in the courses integration - change from MM-dd-yyyy to MM/dd/yyyy

• Discovery / Publishing

  • Check if its publishing to the Summon preview environment - if not, Ex Libris needs to change the configuration back.

  • Recreate any publishing profiles used for pipeline publishing and testing
