Staging environment

spayal

I am working in an environment where Development, staging and Production environments are separate.
In Teamsite , we already have staging area. So is the staging environment different from staging area ? Why do we need a separate staging environment ? When we submit files, its pushed to the staging area. If Staging environment is separate , then how can we push files to the staging environment ?

Staging area in TeamSite is different than Staging Environment.

In TeamSite Termininology Each Branch Contains Staging area.You are question is What is the difference between this staging area and Staging Environment.
Usually in any environment you will have Development ,Staging (Pre Production/Testing Environment) ,Production Servers it depends on your company architecture.

In your question Staging environment is different server.

Thanks in advance

thanks.

so whatever is developed in development environment, is copied on to the staging physically. This staging environment acts as a replica of production environemnt. So how the code will work realtime and how website looks is checked in staging and then code is copied to the production environment, is this right ? So within one environment like development , files can be pushed using workflow. But between different environments, files have to be physically copied form one environment to the other. Is this correct understanding ?

Staging area in Teamsite contains the latest content used in the Worakarea. And the Staging area which you have explained is configured through workflow. I hope it make sense Smiley Happy

It all depends on your architecture, having three teamsite servers like dev, stage and prod and keeping code in sync is different. Usually, its the case what you mentioned but not always, so, dig more into your architecture and confirm your understanding with someone who knows it correctly.

Transferring files from one server to other server (eg from Dev to staging) usually means copying files from Dev derver to Staging server. This is usually not done through the workflow. Is that right ?
This is where I am getting confused most of the times.
Does transfer of files between the servers (From Dev server to Staging server ) happen with workflow ?

Not always and not necessarily, however, workflows are safer to perform these type of tasks.

Why is workflow safer ? Someone can accudently push files in the prod or someone who does not know architecture can push files in prod and make a mess.
I feel copying files between the servers is safer than pushing files thru workflow.
Does this make sense or am I missing something important which makes use of workflow safer ?

Just out of curiosity, have you taken any TeamSite training at all? It sounds like you need to get some training and hit the books.

Workflow is a lot safer than straight up copying. With workflow you get a) logging so you know why things were copied, when, how, and what happened and b) you have better control over the process of copying files from one server to another. Whereas just copying files from one server to another you have a lot less control and are more prone to "accidents" happening. It does sound like you need to take a class or two.

Most of these questions are around very basic functionality of TeamSite. I would recommend reading up on the TS Admin guide with focus on learning the difference between TS Workarea, TS Staging, and TS Editions. TS Staging is completely different and separate from your actual Staging Environment.
