Same Word, Two Meanings

We use the term Configuration Lab (or ConfigLab) to describe two different things:

• A ConfigLab is a test environment where your organization can experiment with changes to configuration data. For example, you can set up a ConfigLab environment to test changes to the algorithms used to calculate your customer's bills.
• We also use the term ConfigLab to describe the tools used to compare and promote data between databases. For example, you can use ConfigLab tools to promote changes to configuration data in a pre-production database to production.
