How to snapshot and restore Elastic Indices from one PeopleSoft environment to another
As part of backup and restore strategy, we have a requirement to take snapshot and restore a PeopleSoft Elastic index from one environment to another.
One other benefit we are seeking from above is not having to index in PROD with very large (250mil rows) of data when we go live. Instead, the plan is to index them (takes many days) in PROD like environment prior, take a snapshot and restore in PROD by renaming it.
The steps i have taken
1. snapshot of the indices in the source environment
2. Deploy the search definition in target environment (but NOT indexed/crawled)
