Hi,

This is a very broad question, and the answer probably depends a lot on your environment.

I'm not an admin, but I would start by thinking about how your DEV and PROD environments are set up (and distinguished).  Then I would think about making the same changes for UAT environment.

As a simple example, I only have access to one server environment (sadly), so I use directories for /DEV, /TEST, /PROD.  And  I have a macro variable &mode which resolves to DEV | TEST | PROD.  So if I were adding UAT, I would need to create the directory branch for /UAT (in OS directories and metadata directories).

So if if your DEV and PROD environments use different host names, then I would think UAT should also have its own host name.

Hi @venkatviswanath, 

For SAS 9.4 refer to the SAS 9.4 Administration documentation here: SAS Help Center: Using the SAS Deployment Manager to Update Host Name References.  Pay attention to the requirements in the documentation when cloning a server to new machines. A copy of just the SAS deployment is not supported.  When the document is talking about transferring full system images that is the same as approach A here Disaster Recovery Policy | SAS Support
