    • Troubleshoot a system property error that occurs while registering a target instance.

    Condition

    By default, glide.db.clone.allow_clone_target is enabled on instances whose name ends in Dev, Test, Stage, UAT, or QA. An error occurs if the property isn't set to True.

    Note:
    If it's a production instance, set this property back to False to avoid accidental clones over production in future.

    Cause

    The glide.db.clone.allow_clone_target system property is set to False.

    Remedy

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > System properties > All properties.
    2. Search for glide.db.clone.allow_clone_target in the system properties list.
    3. Select the property.
    4. If the value is set to False, set the value to True.
    5. Select Update.
