Tips to Designate Dev vs Prod

SOURCE: ONESTREAM CHAMPIONS

Does anyone have any tips or best practices to make it clearly visible when an admin is in Production vs. Development? Obviously next to user name we can see Production or Development, but other than that one word, they look identical. I’m thinking of something like a big red “DEV” logo at the top ribbon next to OneStream XF or something similar to that.

That's an easy one.

    Thanks! Where in your application is the Application Server Configuration File located? I cannot find it unfortunately.

    Dependent on the configuration… In Celvin’s image, the path of the XFAppServerConfig.xml file “Application Server Configuration” is located at C:\OneStreamShare\Confiig. The other common location is C:\OneStream or C:\OneStream\FileShare. In a multi-server environment, there will be a common “shared” location. The first server, I would check is the web server(s) in the environment.

    Hello!

    We’re on the cloud and so asked OS support to make this update for us:
    6-24-2021%208-30-01%20AM

    In excel it looks like this:
    6-24-2021%208-31-11%20AM

    We also name all our dev apps DEV_ and then the 2 digit month, 2 digit day and 2 digit year we made the copy from prod. For example, if I copied prod today for a dev app, it would be named DEV_062421.

    Hope that’s useful!

      Does this work in Azure hosted and when your Dev and Prod are just different applications in the same instance? In other words does each application have its own Environment color or does that update the instance?

      it works in azure, you just submit a ticket to OS support (if they are your hosting provider)

      it is by instance. all applications in the environment would have the same color and environment name.

      These options are now available directly in the application, if you have enough rights:

        I want to say 6.8 but I have no way to check if that's correct. It's definitely there on 7.2.

        But again if you have one cloud instance and you have dev and prod applications all in that instance you can not have different colors.  You can only change the color for the instance although now you can do it yourself.

          Exactly, I'm more concerned with application colors in the same environment....We should be able to have different colors per application within the same environment.  

          I honestly couldn't tell you the last time I logged into our Dev Environment.  All we use is our Prod Environment for our Production app, Development app, Proof Of Concept app, etc.
