Preparing a Data Refresh Environment Checklist
Data Refresh helps you refresh the external database backups in a golden database node, mask the data
in the golden database, and clone any number of database nodes from the golden database node. You
must prepare an environment to provision and clone the database nodes.
The preparing a data refresh environment checklist provides a high-level overview of the sequence of
steps required to prepare an environment to generate a golden database.
