To add a demo environment to AFAS Online:

You have two options:

• You copy an existing environment. You can do this yourself in Profit.
• If you want a new demo environment, you can submit an incident using the AFAS Customer portal.

To add a demo environment to a local installation:

You have two options:

• You make a backup of an existing environment. You restore the backup using a different name.
• You restore a demo environment.

When a connector is being run, the following message is displayed:

UNSPECIFIED – Server was unable to Process request. Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. Cannot find environment.

This message can be triggered for customers in the Caribbean. Customers in the Netherlands Antilles (Caribbean) should use the URL 'afasonlineconnector.com', instead of 'afasonlineconnector.nl'.
