.....on a related yet unrelated topic, i have a question:
when performing a refresh in my test environment with production data, we first disable agents/notifications with the following sql:
Update livelink.AgentSchedule
Set enabled=0
Where AgentID=9999;
once the refresh is successful and the test environment is validated, agents/notifications are still disabled. OT documentation does not indicate re-enabling agent/notifications as we don't want duplicates sent to production users from the test environment.
i opened a ticket with OT on safely re-enabling agents/notifications and they said the only thing needed to prevent duplicates it to delete all rows from NotifyInterests2 table - effectively wiping all notifications within the test environment.
does everyone else agree? does anyone take other measures to prevent duplicates, prior to re-enabling?
