Migrating Data From Your Test Environment to Your Production Environment

This topic describes the utilities used to migrate setup data from your test environment to your production environment.

In your pod you have these environments:

Environment

Description

Test

The test environment is where you learn about the product, enter your setup and configuration data, and test your changes. For example, this is where you add the data for setting up your agency, create your permits, specify branding modifications for your site, and so on.

Production

The production environment is the environment your agency employees and your end users access to complete transactions. The production environment reflects the “finished product” of what was configured and tested in the test environment.

After you have made changes and tested them in the test environment, you then migrate any changed metadata and setup data from your test environment to your production environment. You use the Functional Setup Manager export and import utilities to complete these tasks.

For more information on the Functional Setup Manager export and import utilities, see Using Functional Setup Manager.
