How to Replicate Salesforce Metadata
Streamline production work in the sandbox by replicating Salesforce metadata at a granular level. You can, of course, replicate a full org with CloudAlly, but what happens if you need to narrow the testing focus or conserve resources?
CloudAlly has the answer. You can seed specific Salesforce objects.
Opening the objects list
- Log in to your CloudAlly account and select a Salesforce backup task.
- Click the Replicate button.
- Click the Metadata tile.
- Select a snapshot date (and time if available)
- Click Next.
- Click the Granular Selection tile.
- On the next page, select the objects you want to seed. Scroll through the list or use the search tool.
- Click Next.
- Choose where to seed the metadata.
- Click Replicate.
After you confirm your replication scenario and authenticate in Salesforce, CloudAlly adds the job to the list of replications. You can track the progress of this job on the screen.
- When the job ends, CloudAlly sends an e-mail notification with detailed results of the replication.
- CloudAlly stores the replication results in your account for the next seven days.
