This topic describes how to migrate a SQL Server staging database to a different environment. For an overview of what a staging database is used for, see Overview of Setting Up SQL Server Environments.
Prerequisites
- The dSource for the staging database must be disabled before the migration. To disable the dSource, follow the steps in Enabling and Disabling SQL Server dSources.
- The target environment that will be used for the staging database that is being migrated must have already been added to the Delphix Engine. To add the environment as a target environment, follow the steps in Adding a SQL Server Standalone Target Environment. The environment must meet the requirements for hosting a staging database, as described in Setting Up and Configuring Delphix for SQL Server.
