Stripping non-essential customer data from non-production database

Happy Holidays, Tessitura community!

 

I wonder if there are any of you who have written anything that strips customer data (perhaps except for a specified list of customer data) when restoring to a non-production or development environment in order to save space and eliminate the risk of secure data being on a laptop or other environment that might leave your premises.  We’re still on version 11 & are looking at being able to quickly automate a new development environment and it would be faster and easier to install a smaller segment of customer data with all of the Ticketing setup and campaign setup left intact in order to develop against up-to-date setup.

 

Thank you in advance to anyone who might have built something that would help me accelerate our progress toward quickly replicating our live environment with most customer information stripped out. 

 

Sincerely,

Monica

  • I think a lot of folk would be interested in this as well, including us. This issue does not occur frequently, but it does happen from time to time, and a routine that provides the ability to strip selected data would be a good add to our toolbox. Is this something you can forward to me as well, or perhaps post on Tessitura’s website?

    Hi Monica,

    I'm actually currently in the process of reviewing an old routine that we used for this in v10, which I need to upgrade for our current system (v12.1).  If such a thing would be helpful at all (currently just have the v10 version) I can pass it along.
