Production and Test Environment
Oracle Intelligent Track and Trace provides two types of types of working environments—Test and Production.
As a founder, when you subscribe to Oracle Intelligent Track and Trace, you receive two instance URLs—Test Service instance and Production Service instance. Production Service instance refers to the real-world business instance which is used by trading partners to submit and query transaction documents. Test Service instance refers to an instance which enables you to submit mock transaction documents and queries which simulate the real-world scenarios.
When you configure various business flows for your supply chain, you may want to simulate them to identify any potentials issues that may occur in production. The Test Service instance enables you to closely simulate the production environment by providing the Simulator functionality. For more information on Simulator, see Simulate a Business Flow.
In a test instance after creating the entities, activating the business flows, and verifying the network, you can migrate their configurations to the production instance by promoting the business flows.
Rest of the functionality between the production and test environment remains the same. You can switch between these two instances to access the test and production environments.
