Provisioning a Time Warp environment

To provision a Time Warp environment:

  1. In a production environment, select Database.

  2. In the Auditing section, select Test & Other Environments. Take note of the Status of your institution's Time Warp environment.

  3. Click Provision, or refresh the test environment by clicking the arrow, then Request Refresh. A pop-up appears.

  4. In the pop-up, configure the following:

    • Snapshot Date and Time: Enter a date and time (ET). The default value will be today.

    • Snapshot Type: Select Express to restore the latest weekly backup directly preceding the snapshot date. Otherwise, select Restore to exact moment in time.

    • Add a Memo if desired. The memo will be displayed to users before requesting a refresh of the environment and may be used to provide details of intended use.

  5. Click Provision/Update Snapshot. A confirmation pop-up appears.

  6. Enter the required text into the confirmation pop-up and click OK.

📝 Provisioning or refreshing a Time Warp environment may take up to three hours.

To access your new Time Warp environment:

  • Select the endpoint URL, or

  • Select Launch Time Warp

Note that, immediately after the Time Warp environment is provisioned, the banner at the top may briefly display incorrectly due to caching.
