Provisioning Environments via Environment Studio
Overview
Environment Studio provides the flexibility to provision environments at a time of your choosing rather than relying on automatic provisioning schedules. For any additional environments you have purchased, the provisioning process starts only when you explicitly initiate it.
While the CFG environment is created automatically, UAT, PRD, and other purchased additional environments, such as TST and TRN, can be provisioned on demand.
Prerequisites
The Environment Studio Administrator privilege is required to provision environments in LEC Environment Studio.
Your entitlement for the new environment must already be reflected in your account. When you purchase an additional environment, LEC syncs this entitlement automatically, so it should appear in Environment Studio. If an environment you have purchased is not showing up as available to provision, contact IFS support before proceeding.
