How to move project area configuration to a new project area?
I have been making lots of customizations to work items, conditional scripts, roles and permission, streams, access to components etc. All this in “sandbox environment” of RTCv5.0.2.
When I set up the production environment (new instance on different server), is it possible to move all of the customization from Sandbox to Production? If yes, what is the best practice to do it?
Please suggest.
Accepted answer
here I named the template 'sample project - process', with a Process of of 'foo'
so that it is different than any other. you can edit and change the name/process id to switch them around (ie, make yours the new 'Scrum' process for later projects)
then export that template and import it on another system.
here the name of the file is up to you.. I left an old name I used as an example
then copy that zip file to the other system and use Import to add it to the process list..
note: two templates cannot have the same 'process ID' (ie, Scrum). so you have to rename one to get it out of the way

When trying to export > at the step of "Select the process template to export" > it gives me below options:
1. Formal Project Management Process
2. Scrum
3. Unconfigured Process
4. Standard Setup Process
I exported Unconfigured & Formal Project Management Process templates. But they don't contain my updations.
Am I missing something?
Please let me know.
- Redo everything by hand on the production (Tedious & error prone)
- Compare the 2 Process templates XML and do a merge (Tedious & sometimes error prone)
