Key Points for Migration
- Identify key stakeholders and their roles and responsibilities involved in migration/promotion tasks. Typical roles are Developers, QA, Production Support.
- Most organizations have their own release management process and are adopting DevOps style processes. Adeptia recommends to include object/migration and promotion utility (Migration Utility) within their release management process as applicable. For example, using interactive and non-interactive modes of Migration utility as appropriate.
- Migration utility can be effectively used in non-interactive mode with scripts to automate exporting and importing objects in different environments. However, on Linux Operating System, Adeptia supports onlyl non-interactive migration/promotion.
- Before upgrading it is recommended to take a backup of objects from production environments for roll-back or recovery. It is important to maintain a separate repository for backup and latest copy of export zip file, preferably in a version controlled repository like TFS or GIT.
- Ensure while promoting or migration objects the # users allowed as per the licenses are adequate. For example Development/QA environment may have different # of users allowed than Prod environment which can give rise to issues while executing transactions in production.
