Deploying a Customization

Once a customization has been tested on a server that serves for test purposes, you can deploy it on a production server. Depending on the tools used to perform the customization, the deployment process and tools may be different. In all cases, two steps must be performed:

  • Exporting the customization.
  • Importing the customization on one or more than one production servers.

For Unified Typing customization, the tool is described in the Data Model Customization: Unified Typing Migration Tool guide.

For Data Setup and the business rules, the methodology to apply is the following:

  1. Create a briefcase with the data contained in Data Setup.
  2. Use the P&O import tool to deploy the collaborative spaces structure.
  3. Use the batch to import the briefcase. The connection to the project will be performed automatically.

For security customization (policies), the right methodology is described in the Legacy Tools: MQL Concepts and MQL Command Reference guides.
