Considerations for Migrating Data Between Environments

When you implement and maintain your Oracle Cloud applications, you almost always need to migrate data from one environment to another during the application life cycle.

For example, one typical use case in any enterprise application implementation is to first implement the applications in a development or test application environment and then deploy it to a production application instance after thorough testing. You use various methods or tools to accomplish the migration of data.

Note: When you migrate data to a new environment, the application doesn't retain all user-set values for various parameters. You need to add these values manually. For example, you need to set some profile option values again, even if they were previously set.

For more information on migrating data between environments, see the Overview of Setup Data Export and Import topic in the Oracle Applications Cloud Using Functional Setup Manager guide.
