Time Warp environments create a copy of your production database from any point in time within the past 90 days.

When you’re in a Time Warp environment, this banner appears at the top of every page:

Provisioning a Time Warp Environment

To provision a Time Warp Environment:

1. Go to Database → Test & Other Environments. Take note of the Status of your institution's Time Warp environment.

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

3. 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.

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

5. 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.
