Development of a tool for copying data from the productive cloud instance of Salesforce into the development and test environments
Supplement
The tool allows to copy a coherent section of the productive data into a developer sandbox of Salesforce. The data to be copied is determined by a predefined template.
Subject description
For development and testing, the development team requires production-like data in development and test systems. It is impossible to copy all data from production into a developer sandbox. Since the data are connected in a very complex way, defined master data must be copied in addition to a section of the transactional data. Because Salesforce keys cannot simply be copied, the relationships of the data must be re-established during the copy process using the domain-oriented keys or user-defined logic.
