Gallery Restore to Development

Question

My company is preparing to test the 2020.2 upgrade.  In order to test our production workflows, we are taking a back-up of the production gallery and want to restore it to our development server. Have any of you done this? I am trying to anticipate configuration issues that may arise.

I got chrome working, however the problem of saving a workflow still remains

epilady · Answer

I have completed the restore and the objects look good on the host server.  I am having two issues.  I am unable to save a new workflow to the Gallery, seems to be stuck validating the other when using the gallery URL, chrome spins trying to load the home page

if you follow this:

1- backup existing server:

2- Do a restore from the previous backup on another server:

In particular you will need the original settings file from the existing server:

RuntimeSettings.xml from the original server found here: %PROGRAMDATA%\Alteryx\RuntimeSettings.xml.
