Promote Configuration from Test to Production Environment

If you have created the required entities, activated flows, and verified the network in a test environment, you can now migrate and use them in the production environment by promoting the business flows.

When you promote a business flow from a test instance to a production instance, the following entities associated with the business flow also get promoted:

• Trading partner, locations and location business identifiers

• Flow templates

• Business rules

• Document type definitions

• Integrations

Note: When you promote a business flows from a Test to a Production instance, you must ensure that all of the business flows in the list with its associated entities are promotable. If any of the business flow entities are not promotable, the Promote button will be disabled until all the business flow entities are fixed for promotion.

The following image is an example of multiple business flows where if one of the business flow is not promotable, the Promote button is disabled. In this case, none of the business flow entities in the list can be promoted until the non-promotable business flow is fixed.

An existing entity in the production instance is overwritten during a promotion. In the test instance, when you initiate to promote a business flow, a list of its associated entities that would be overwritten is displayed, which you need to confirm before the promotion.

In a production instance, you need to explicitly activate a business flow that was promoted even if it was active in the test instance.
