Moving test work

What is the best way to move a configuration from one system to another?  This would be from a test system  to a soon-to-be production system.

Should I export/Import confguration, or backup/restore database?

Thank You,

Frank

  • I highly recommend using backup/restore over import/export.  It is faster and less prone to errors or unexpected consequences.  

    Import/Export may be necessary to ensure that only legitimate (e.g. tested) code makes it to the production system.

    When using backup/restore, the path to the file must match on both source and target systems.  I use

    \\localhost\dvdata

    as the path,  because regardless of file system architecture, all deltav systems will resolve this path.
