Workspaces
You can enable and manage workspace assets and determine policies such as locking rules and commit and publishing options.
Enabling Workspaces
You enable workspaces by creating a new HCL Commerce authoring environment instance.
Synchronizing an authoring environment with a production environment
If you create your authoring environment after creating a production environment, you must synchronize your production and authoring environment to ensure that the authoring environment accurately reflects your production environment. You should also synchronize your authoring environment and production environment if at any point your production-ready data on the authoring environment does not accurately reflect your production environment. This can be caused by changes made directly on the production environment, either one large change or a series of smaller, incremental changes that cause the information about the authoring environment and production environment to no longer be synchronized.

Procedure

Use the stagingcopy utility to copy all data from the production environment database to the production-ready database on the authoring environment.

For more information, review Staging environment limitations.
Deploy the application you have setup with the production environment into the authoring environment. For more information, see Planning your production environment infrastructure.
