About integration packages, configuration, and testing
Before integration, you must ensure that the data from the integrated application is compatible with the code page for the Compass database. If you add additional record types after adding a package, you can enable the package functionality for those record types using the Designer.
Testing integrations
To avoid problems with your database, you should add integration packages in a test environment before modifying your production environment.

Testing integrations

To avoid problems with your database, you should add integration packages in a test environment before modifying your production environment.

Once you add packages to a schema, check in the schema, and apply the schema to your user database, you cannot undo the changes. When performing a test integration, replicate both production environments: the HCL Compass environment, and the environment of the application being integrated with HCL Compass. For example, in a HCL Compass and HCL VersionVault integration, you need:

A test HCL Compass database
A test HCL Compass schema
A test HCL VersionVault VOB
