Siebel Product Administration Guide > Releasing Products and Other Versioned Objects > Migrating Products Among EnvironmentsSome businesses develop new versions of products in the same environment that they use for product that are already in production. Other businesses use separate environments for development and for production. If you use separate environments for development and production, you can migrate product data from the development to the production environment in either one of two ways:
NOTE: You cannot use EAI to import versioned data. Migrating Products Using Import and Export in Workspace Projects ViewUsing import and export in Workspace Projects view, you can migrate the versioned data that you can add to the Workspace Projects list, and you have the option of migrating related objects. When you export objects, a dialog box appears with these options:
In either case, all the objects are exported to a single XML file. When you import this XML file, they are imported as separate objects. The data that is exported depends on the value in the Testing Date field and Use Project flag of the Workspace Project header. If no base date is entered, it depends on the value in the Effective Start Date field. NOTE: To extend the import/export XML schema, extend integration objects under the project ISS VOD Import Export. Each object is imported in a single transaction. Extend text fields only and avoid extending FK columns or adding child entities. An inconsistent product definition might result in the case of one object failing to import due to an invalid FK or child entity, and other objects import correctly. It is recommended not to extend integration objects because the preconfigured import is staged in the Workspace version and does not take effect until you release new product versions. However, an extension which is non-versioned takes immediate effect after the import. The recommended approach is to use preconfigured IO to migrate product headers and versioned objects, and extend the production ADM object to migrate the customer's extension.

Migrating Products Using Application Deployment Manager (ADM)You can also migrate products using Application Deployment Manager. You use the Joint WorkSpace content object to migrate key fields and versioned content for product itself, and you use the Product (ADM) content object to migrate the non-versioned content of product. If you are migrating non-standard fields, you must customize the Product (ADM) content object. For information about how to use ADM, see Siebel Application Deployment Manager Guide. Importing and Exporting Product PromotionsProduct promotions can be imported and exported as follows:
