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:
📝 Audit log data is not included in Time Warp environments.
Provisioning a Time Warp environment
To provision a Time Warp environment:
In a production environment, select Database.
In the Auditing section, select Test & Other Environments. Take note of the Status of your institution's Time Warp environment.
Click Provision, or refresh the test environment by clicking the arrow, then Request Refresh. A pop-up appears.
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.
Click Provision/Update Snapshot. A confirmation pop-up appears.
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.
