Is it possible to have two instances cloned the same day at the same time?

santi · ‎09-27-2017

Due to the nature of our operations we need to have two instances cloned the same day at the same time but when I go to ServiceNow to schedule the clones, it's allowing to only submit one at the time.

Thanks,

Hello Santiago,

It looks like you cannot schedule multiple clones at the same time.

You could create one clone then clone that onto the second before you touch the first clone.

Or is time of the essence?

You can do it, but it depends on the source instance. You cannot clone a single source over two targets at the same time.

Can you provide your use case? I could talk to the Cloud Operations team about potential solutions.
