The following checklist lists the tasks for using the sync strategy:

Setting up the sync strategy¶

To set up the sync strategy:

1. Add the ACQUIA_TASKS_SETUP_DRUPAL_STRATEGY environment variable in Code Studio.
2. Set the value of the environment variable to sync.

Selecting a database¶

The Code Studio pipeline copies an existing database from a Cloud Platform environment. By default, Code Studio copies the latest backup of the first database from your production environment into the pipeline.

To select a different Cloud Platform environment for copying the database:

1. Add the ACQUIA_CLOUD_SOURCE_ENVIRONMENT_ID environment variable in Code Studio.

For example, myapp.dev, 14-0c7e79ab-1c4a-424e-8446-76ae8be7e851.

2. Set the value of the environment variable to the environment alias or UUID of the environment from which you want to copy the database.

To select a different database to copy:

1. Add the ACQUIA_CLOUD_SOURCE_DATABASE_NAME environment variable in Code Studio.
2. Set the value of the environment variable to the name of the database you want to copy.

Importing database configuration¶

To import the database configuration:

1. Add the ACQUIA_TASKS_SETUP_DRUPAL_CONFIG_IMPORT in Code Studio.
2. Set the value of the environment variable to true.
