Configuring a web content staging environment

Configure the staging environment to emulate the web content delivery environment and allow for testing before deployment.

You define and manage staging environment options in the WCM WCMConfigService service using the WebSphere® Integrated Solutions Console.

• If your staging server is to be used purely as a holding server where changes to your site are accumulated prior to syndicating these changes to a delivery environment, then you may only need to review the syndication settings of the staging server. In most cases you would ensure that automatic syndication is disabled.
• If you are using your staging environment for user acceptance testing prior to syndicating to a delivery environment then you will need to ensure that all other settings configured on your staging server match those set on the delivery server.
