Pausing the CoE test environment

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 54

As recommended by MS documentation, I created a test CoE environment and have since gone live with our production environment. All is well, except the test environment is still active and still sending me (my admin account) emails about inactive flows and apps, etc.

I don't need my test environment until its time to test an upgrade. Can I turn it off, pause it, or something? What are other admins doing? Do I need to go and find all the relevant flows and turn THEM off instead? Which ones, all of them? Just the "driver" flows?

Thanks in advance for your time 🙂

    Hi,

    in my case I have also a TEST environment with CoE Starter Kit and it's running everyday. The different with prod environment is that I have other admin account and the environment variable "Production environment" is No.

     

    If you want to stop the solution, you should turn off all the flows to ensure the solution is completely stopped. Now, from the app CoE Admin Command Center > CoE Flows is very easy.

    I sure appreciate the quick reply, thank you Alberto. The CoE Flows feature of the Command Center definitely makes this easier. I didn't have the patience to stop every single flow, but I did my best to identify the ones that were busy in the back ground inventorying and such and stopped those. I might have to stop more in the future but its a start.
