Hello, I need to create a new environment but I'm not sure how to proceed, I have a development environment but I want to create another development environment but called "development2" environment (example), it must have another database to connect to.

I believe it is something common, but I have doubts.

Who set up your existing development environment? I would think you'd ask them to create another one. If that person isn't around anymore, there are several things that are important to know before anyone could suggest how you go about this.

First, I just want to make sure. You're not on the Learning Edition, right?

Assuming you're using Blue Prism with a paid license, are you connecting to your existing development environment using an app server? If you're using an app server, you'd get another app server to support your second development environment and create a second database to connect to.

The other database can be in the same SQL Server instance as your existing development environment, but it is normally recommended (especially for Prod) to have separate SQL Server instances for each environment.

You can technically do this very easily if you do not need Scheduler functionality. Assuming you have admin rights or at least rights to create databases in the SQL Server, you can just create a new connection in Blue Prism, connect to the same SQL Server instance, type in a new name for a database and click Create Database. You really need to know a fair bit about Blue Prism before you go doing this at an enterprise though.

It's a new environment, but the person who set it up is no longer with the company.
Yes, I'm connecting to an application server.

I'm not using a Learning Edition version.

You are right, I will study the installation documentation to continue with the installation of the new environment, the advice you gave is the best way and thank you very much for the instructions!
