Question

What is the difference between traindb and test server?

Answer

Voyager's traindb is part of the out-of-the-box installation and contains a set of test data. It is designed for training staff and testing basic Voyager functionality. 

A test server (sometimes referred to as "sandbox") is licensed separately from a production Voyager environment. It is typically a copy of the production Voyager installation, including a copy of the production data, and is used for more extensive testing and development work. For example, some institutions will upgrade a test server and test staff workflows on this environment before upgrading a production server. Or, institutions will test and refine new workflows on a copy of production data without impacting the production installation. Typically a site will periodically have the data on their test server "refreshed" so that it matches the current data on the production server.
