Instance Cloning -- Notifications disablen?

simonvolkwe · ‎08-11-2025

Hello together,

I have a question about cloning from a LIVE instance to a DEV instance.

In this article, which describes post-clone and pre-clone activities very well, it says that I should disable notifications before cloning.(Post-Cloning Checklist - Support and Troubleshooting)

Why is that?

Since I am cloning to a dev instance where notifications cannot be sent by default, I can theoretically leave it out, right?

Thanks in advance, and if you have any experience or tips regarding cloning and what to look out for, or what is often forgotten with preserver/excluded records, please feel free to write.

Greetings

Simon

Hi @simonvolkwe

Did you get a chance to look at the OOTB post-cleanup scripts?
