Setting up the test environment These are the general steps for setting up the Spotfire test environment and running tests. Procedure Clone the pre-7.5 production Spotfire database. Install the new version of Spotfire Servers and node managers. For more information, see Basic installation process for Spotfire Server. Install on all servers any available hotfix for the new server. For more information, see Applying hotfixes to the server. Upgrade the cloned Spotfire database to the new version using the Spotfire Server upgrade tool. For more information, see Run the upgrade tool. Note: Make sure that it is the cloned database that is upgraded, not the production database. Test the system, preferably under conditions similar to production, including any scheduled updates. After testing is complete, upgrade your pre-7.5 Spotfire environment to the new environment.
