2.2 Activating a Space

In this scenario, the user wants to activate the configurations which have been modified in a passive space.

1. The system has at least two spaces – the active space and a passive space.

2. Before copying the modified passive space to the active space, it is recommended that the user creates a backup space. This means there is a backup copy of the active space if it is required to revert to the previous version of the configurations. The user creates an empty space, e g spacecreate backup.

3. The user copies the contents of the active space to the backup space using the command spacecopy active backup.

4. The workflows running in the active space, except workflows running on ECSA, need to be stopped and unprocessed data must be drained before the staging space is copied to the active space.
    
5. The user copies the contents of the staging space to the active space so that the modified configurations can be executed in the active space using spacecopy staging active.
