We are in the process of upgrading our Jira and Confluence environments. We are moving to new application servers, so there will be a migration involved. We would like to use our Production data for the new Test environment. Our DBA is going to back up the Production database and restore it to the Test SQL server. So, when we upgrade, we will be upgrading Production data, but in the Test environment. In doing the upgrade, we have to point to the old installation directory and home. I will need to copy the installation and home directories to the new server. Can I use the current Test directories or do I need to use Production, since it is Production data in the database. Meaning, are there files on the server that are specifically connected to data in the database? Are there configuration files that point to the database? If so, what are they and can they be modified prior to or during the upgrade process? The firewalls shouldn't be open between the Test Server and the Production database, but I don't want to risk accidentally upgrading the actual Production database.
