The Aptify Configuration Migration (CM) Tool assists developers in moving entities and metadata from one environment (the source) to another (the destination). This tool can be used to unpack entities during the initial server installation process, or during a server upgrade to a new version of Aptify. The CM Tool can also be used to move organization-specific entities and metadata from one server to another. You can choose which items to pack from the source database and unpack them on the destination database, all within the same GUI interface. For example, to move new entities from a development server to production, the entities are packed on the development server using the Open Configuration for Packing option and then unpacked on the production server using the tool's Open Configuration for Unpacking option. The CM tool also provides developers with the ability, prior to any packing or unpacking actions, to use validation rules provided with the tool or with newly defined rules to verify the packs.

The Aptify Unpacking of a pack created using the CM Tool should be tested unpacked against a non-production environment first before using it to move entities and metadata into a production environment. in addition, make sure to backup the server where you are unpacking, to provide a fall-back option, in case a problem occurs during the process. |
