Refresh a database clone so that it is equivalent to the source database at the current moment or a previous point in time.

About this task

Refreshing a clone updates the clone either to the source database at the current moment or to a snapshot of the source database taken at a previous point in time. Any changes made to the sandbox clone will be deleted.

Before you begin

A refresh is only possible when the source database is active.

To refresh a database clone from a snapshot, the source database must have at least one snapshot for the operation.

Steps

  1. Log in to the Workload Factory console.

  2. In the Databases tile, select Go to Databases Inventory.

  3. In Databases, select the Sandboxes tab.

  4. In the Sandboxes tab, click the three dots menu of the sandbox clone you want to refresh.

  5. Select Refresh.

  6. In the Refresh dialog, select one of the following options:

    1. Refresh to current time

    2. Refresh to point in time

      For this option, select the database snapshot from the dropdown menu to refresh to.

  7. Click Refresh.
