How To Setup "Reverse" Deployment? (Refresh dev file with production data)

OttoDeploy

We’ve used OttoDeploy many times to do normal “Dev to Prod” deployments (“Migrate” operation).

Occasionally we do a “Create New Dev File” deployment (“Install/Replace” operation) where we just dump the dev file wholesale and replace it with the current production file.

Now we have a need to do what I consider a “reverse” deployment, where we want to refresh the data in the dev file with fresh data from the production file. I want to think this is doable, but my brain just isn’t putting things together right.

So, given these files:

  • Requirements_v2 (production file—I want the data from here)
  • Requirements_v2_Dev (dev file—I want the schema from here)

How would I set this up?

I have this as an idea, but the SCHEMA and DATA are in the wrong spots:

Hey Matt,

Check out this guide in the docs. Its a bit more complex since OttoFMS always uses the schema from the source. But that guide should have everything you need to do this!

While this of course works, it would be nice if at some point you could bundle this into a new type of deployment. It also need to do this occasionally.
