Understanding Project Copy Options
There are two ways to copy projects to another database:
-
Copying a source project directly to a target database to which you are connected.
-
Copying a source project to a file and then copying the file to a target database.
This feature provides more flexibility in moving PeopleTools definitions and projects across databases. To move definitions to another database, you copy definitions to a target directory and files instead of another database. The directory and files can be local or reside on a file server. These files then become the source when copying a project from a file. Note, however, that not all definition types that are supported by the Copy to Database process are supported by the Copy to/from File processes. Those that are not supported must be migrated using Copy to Database.
