I am hoping to get some guidance about setting up a weekly refresh of data from production to test. I want to use SSIS but I am open to whatever method makes sense with the following scenario: prod server one (database named A) is the publisher and distributor to a database on prod server 2 (A_REPL). prod server 2 (database B) is the publisher and distributor to another database on prod 1 (B_REPL) (so 4 databases so far on two servers).the test server has two databases that replicate to two other databases all on this test server (4 databases and 1 server) (named A and A_REPL and B and B_REPL)Now I want to refresh the data from prod 1 one of the databases (database A)) to the test server (one of the publisher databases (database named A on this test server)). How can I refresh the data without messing up replication? Is SSIS the way to go? I would do this after hours.Thanks in anticipation of any advice anyone may have. General suggestions or specific details appreciated. Whatever you have time for :-)
