For each instance, define other instances in the hierarchy as remote instances.

1. If IP address access control is enabled, log in to the remote instance and add Sub-Dev 1 as an exception.
2. On Sub-Dev 1, navigate to Team Development > Remote Instances.
3. Click New.
4. Define the remote instance, such as Dev-Parent, by completing the form (see table).

   

5. Click Submit.
6. Repeat step 1 through step 5 for each instance in the hierarchy that this instance needs to push and pull with (for example, Sub-Dev 2 and Sub-Dev 3).
