Move a Component from One Environment to Another

Without Config Xpress, the task of moving components between staging areas is complex and likely to fail.

When you use Config Xpress to move components, the tool also moves all required objects. For example, if you move a task that requires a screen, Config Xpress asks if you want to select the required components also. Config Xpress understands that the task uses this screen and should also be moved to the target environment.

If you want to move a component to a live environment, Config Xpress uploads it immediately. If you want to move the component to an environment file, save the component as an XML file and then import that file into the environment.

Follow these steps:

  1. Load the environment that contains the component that you want to move.
  2. Compare this environment with a second one:
    1. Click Compare.
    2. Load the target environment.

      Config Xpress displays a list of the differences between the two environments.

  3. In the list of differences, find a component that you want to move. You can click the Name column to sort the list.
  4. For each component, do the following steps:
    1. Select the item in the Action column.

      Config Xpress analyzes the component, which can take some time.

    2. If the component has any dependent components, the Add Modified Dependant Screens box appears. Click Yes or No to continue.

    When you have selected all of the components that you want to move, you are ready to move the updated components.

  5. If you are moving the components to a live server, click Upload To.

    The components are moved immediately.

  6. If you are moving the components to an environment file:
    1. Click Save.
    2. Enter a file name, then click Save again.

      Config Xpress saves all of the components that you selected in an XML file. You can now import this XML file into the actual target environment.
