Managing environment
Environment management actions
From the Overview dashboard, several actions are available to let you manage the environments of your contract.
Configure
This action allows you to update the settings of your environment. See the Creating environment section to find out more about each tab and setting.
Check ODW import
Click this action to get a status of the Omada Data Warehouse import job (if any is currently running).
Suspend/Resume
You can pause an environment by clicking Suspend in the dropdown menu. To reactivate it, click Resume.
A suspended environment can still be deleted, unlike a locked environment.
Connectivity manager
When you click this option, a dialog opens with the connectivity packages ready to install or upgrade.
At the bottom of the dialog, you can also click the button PowerShell Upload to open another dialog where you can select and upload PowerShell scripts directly from your computer's file explorer. In the Actions column, you can delete the files or download them, to double-check their content.
You can upload as many scripts as needed, but for the upload to be successful you must:
- Validate the disclaimer checkbox at each upload.
- Ensure that each file is in the format .ps1
- Ensure that each file has a unique name.
- Ensure that each file is under 1Mb.
Schedule
When you click this option, a dialog opens which allows you to automatically suspend, resume and upgrade your environment based on a given schedule. Select the option you need from the dropdown, click the Enabled slider, and select the time zone, day and time.
Upgrade
This action is available when there is a recent Cloud release update. When you click Upgrade, you can read the release notes of this update before to download it.
Restore
This action allows you to restore an environment to its previous settings by a specified past date.
Change contract
Click this option to move an environment to any contract which has not yet reached its limit of environment assignments. Costs between contracts may differ.
Clone
This option allows you to create a copy of any environment. When clicking this option, you'll be asked to fill in again new environment details and to select also a restore point.
Lock/Unlock
The Lock option ensures that no environment can be deleted by mistake or by a background job. As long as an environment is locked, the Delete button will remain disabled.
A nightly background job automatically deletes unlocked non-production environments. If you want to keep a non-production environment, remember to lock it.
Delete
Once an environment (production or non-production ones) isn't needed any longer, you can delete this environment. Please note that all data are deleted and the action can't be undone.
