Distinguishing production and non-production servers

Background

In an enterprise where two or more instances of TariffShark CPUC are running, you might want to distinguish your production environment from all non-production ones. When you do this, users get a visual cue (a distinct, orange Status Bar) when connected to a non-production server. When the orange Status Bar is displayed, Users must NOT do real TariffShark work as the environment is for testing only.

How To

  • Enable the setting of production and non-production
    • Make sure your application servers are configured to allow the designation of production and non-production severs. Refer to this FAQ article and read about the AllowSetIsProduction key in the web.config file.
  • Setting production or non-production
    • In your web browser, call the SetProduction web handler to tag a server as either production or non-production.
    • Production: http[s]://<app-server-hostname>/Services/SetProduction.ashx?value=true
