Swap sandbox and production instances

Question

I would like to switch my instances so that what is currently our Sandbox becomes our Production instance and the current Production instance becomes the Sandbox. How can I do this?

Answer

The steps to achieve this are as follows;

1. Log into the current production instance and change all of the logins from @company.com to something like @company_sandbox.com.
2. Log into the Sandbox instance and change all of the logins from @companysandbox.com to @company.com.
3. (optional) You could now log back into the original instance and change the logins from company_sandbox.com to companysandbox.com if necessary.
4. Go to Admin > General Setup in both instances and update the instance names accordingly.
5. Contact the Workday Adaptive Planning Account Provisioning team (provisioning@adaptiveinsights.com) to let us know the change has been made and we will make sure to update our internal record.
