Points to Consider to Export and Import Setup Data

Based on your implementation, you can follow different approaches while exporting and importing assignment setup data.

Consider the following points:

• Because your implementation is using rule-based assignment, the implementation project must include both the Assignment Objects and Assignment Rules setup tasks.

• Retain the default sequence for the tasks and business objects.

The application lets you delete assignment objects, assignment attributes, rule categories, rule sets, rules, and conditions in an environment, for example test. If that setup data is exported, and then imported into another environment, for example production, the data in the target database isn't removed.

If your implementation plans to import and export setup data for assignment objects and assignment rules, ensure not to delete assignment objects, rule categories, rule sets, and rules. Set them to inactive in case you want to delete them. Additionally, don't delete assignment rule conditions. Instead, set the rule to inactive and then recreate the rule excluding the condition that's no longer needed.
