Production database synchronization

The Configured Commerce Production Database Sync action in Mission Control allows you to sync database data from your Production instance to your Sandbox instance.

🚧

Important

This action is for v2 (AWS) instances only and is not currently supported for v3 (Azure) customers. Optimizely identified an issue with v3 in final testing that will be fixed in early 2023, but is making this action available for all v2 based instances.

The sync is a one way process from Production to Sandbox.

❗️

Warning

This is a destructive process for Sandbox.
