About Migrating Individual Account Reconciliation Artifacts

Service Administrators can migrate individual artifacts across environments by using the export and import functionality.

In addition to migration, this functionality can also be used when user errors cause one or more artifacts to be corrupted. You can use import and update only the affected artifacts, without impacting the other artifacts in the application.

The exported individual artifacts can be imported into an environment on a previous release or a future release. This enables you to move artifacts from test to production, when the test environment has been upgraded before the production environment. Note that when you create a snapshot of one or more artifacts, you can import only these artifacts into a target environment.

In the Categories tab of the Migration card, using the Backup option creates a snapshot file containing all information for the three listed categories: Data Management, Financial Close Management, and Groups and Membership. When the Financial Close Management category is expanded fully, the Service Administrator can select individual Account Reconciliation artifacts and then use Export to create an export file containing only the selected artifacts. When using a backup or user-created export, you can:

  • Perform a full import
  • Import the selected individual artifacts

For information about migrating snapshots, see Migrating Account Reconciliation Snapshots Using Navigator.
