Update Sandbox db from new data-snapshot

0
Hi all, Quick question; is it possible to reload the database from snapshot in a Sandbox app environment? If I update the snapshot(+commit) and restart the app in sandbox, no data is changed which seems the logical thing to happen. Still is there a way to get a new snapshot imported?

Hi Nick,

Ask support to remove the sandbox and then run the app again in the sandbox. Your latest data should then be in the sandbox

I created a module that allows you to backup and restore a chain of objects. The appstore deeplink does not work, but searching for 'backup' will return it.

Full details are in the module documentation, easier to read on GitHub: https://github.com/synobsys/mendix-ObjectBackupRestore

Basically you create a configuration to tell the module what to backup. You can then download the backup as a zip file and upload it into your sandbox. I use it all the time to update a sandbox db.

Released for Mx5 but it does work on Mx6, maybe you need to fix a few layout issues to get to work.
