Francesca Shiekh I know this was old question, but how you solved this issue?
I also need sometime to clone my production environment into some kind of sandbox, where I can test SugarCRM upgrade for example. So just wonder if just setting new fullsearch index will work(I am aware that fulltext index need to be indexed again as well as caches and rmail archiving might stop working).
But are there some other issues that we might expect?
Thanks!

Sorry Ivica,
my admins set up 6 separate servers for my 3 environments. 3 Application servers (Web servers) and 3 Database servers. Elasticsearch is on its own server for Production, and is installed on each of the Application Servers for Test and Development.
So I avoid all issues.

I have about 50 instances on my laptop (don't ask) and the biggest danger is really just ensuring that each instance is pointing to the appropriate DB and Elasticsearch index. The DB settings in the config.php, along with the unique_key value are important pieces to that puzzle. You should also update the site_url setting for good measure.
The only gotcha that you have to be careful with is that depending on how you configure your web server, you might not be able to open multiple instances within the same browser window.
For example, mine is configured such that I would access them like this:
http://localhost/instance1
http://localhost/instance2
..and so forth.
If I attempt to access more than 1 instance simultaneously within the same browser window the OAuth tokens get all mixed up as they are in localstorage under "localhost." That eventually causes me to get booted out of one of the instances.
Finally... what is the conclussion..
