Understanding Instances and Environments Periodically, we communicate to customers about enhancements and maintenance to the Emburse Enterprise application that occur only in certain environments or for customers who are on a specific hosting instance. To help you better understand the terms "environments" and "instances," we have put together the following guide. Instances For security and processing efficiency, Emburse Enterprise hosts our services and customer data in several physical data center "instances." Occasionally, we may need to perform maintenance on just one data center instance. It is important that you understand on which instance your company is hosted so that you may determine whether you will be affected. Each instance is represented by a unique website URL, and you can easily see in the naming of the URL which data center instance you are accessing. C1 Instance: https://app.chromeriver.com C3 Instance: https://app.eu1.chromeriver.com C5 Instance: https://app.ca1.chromeriver.com C7 Instance: https://app.us2.chromeriver.com You can identify your organization's instance by looking at the URL when logged in to Emburse Enterprise. The example below shows a customer accessing the C3 Instance: Environments Within each data center instance, the Emburse Enterprise application is available in the live "Production" environment and, for customers who have added it, a “QA/UAT” testing environment. You can see in the naming of the URL which environment you are accessing. Production: The live site containing all of your company's current data. Note that "prod" does not appear in the URLs for the Production site: C1 Prod Environment: https://app.chromeriver.com C3 Prod Environment: https://app.eu1.chromeriver.com C5 Prod Environment: https://app.ca1.chromeriver.com C7 Prod Environment: https://app.us2.chromeriver.com QA/UAT: An optional testing site created from a copy of the data on the live site that allows you to try new features, rules and changes before they are implemented for all users in the Production site. For complete details on testing in QA/UAT, see Get Started in the QA/UAT Environment.
