I had started to discuss this in reply to another 'Tips' discussion and then thought I had it figured out...only to realize that I really didn't. Instead of further polluting that thread I decided to start a new one.
Ok, my issue is....I want to be able to copy an entity down from my Prod Tenant to my Dev Tenant. This entity has two cross walks that are merged together.
I do the GET on the prod tenant for that entity
{{tenantURL}}/entities/5M1VJVi/?options=ovOnly (also tried it without ovOnly)And then I wrap it in square brackets and POST it to my DEV tenant. Success..... sort of...the data makes it there....but not everything looks the same.
When I look at it in my DEV tenant it does not look the same. It appears to mix together some of the fields that were different - sometimes duplicating some of the values in fields some times having the source field have the same name for both cross walks (which were different in Prod). I'm assuming this is for the data that is different between the crosswalks...exactly the field that I need to work with. I really don't want to have to go and hand craft json data to be this in the correct way...as I expect to have to do a lot of this....I really want to just 'grab and go'.
I'm thinking there must be a special trick to this so that I can just grab a merged entity of multiple cross walks from one environment and plop it into another environment and have it pretty much look the same. From there I want to play around with the survivorship rules and test to see if my changes actually work. First, though I want to see that the result (before my change) shows consistently with what's in production and then change the config and test again.
I'm really very new to all of this and every step is challenging....figuring out a change, figuring out how to test that change....lots of things to learn. Thank you in advance for your help!
