CMJ snapshot used to move Project Configuration Issues to target system" what does that mean?

[Lakshmi Sindhagatta]

I was looking at a video at the end it says "This snapshot is used to move Project Configuration Issues to target system". I just want to confirm that it copies the issue/configuration snapshot vs moving. copies from source to target vs moving. Just do not want to loose the configurations on the source by deploying the snapshot from source to target. Any help will be appreciated "Move Project configuration" is a copy and not a move.

Move means it is copy of project configuration CMJ from source to Traget.  We do not want to loose anything in source when we deploy the CMJ snapshot in target

Hi @Lakshmi Sindhagatta

Yes, it will copy from source to target.

Be mindful that some configuration items may be updated and sometimes duplicated, but they can be sorted out during the deployment analysis.

Please let me know if that helps.

@Melo  Thanks for the response.   I am creating the snapshot in One instance and deploying in another. 

Once I create snapshot of a project. I would like to deploy as a file. I saw under snapshots when I download it create a zip file with in which I saw an xml file, how do I deploy that in a different instance. what are the steps involved

Step1 - create a project snapshot  in instance#1 (it creates a zip file with xml file) under snapshot tabs

Can I get high level steps?

Hi @Lakshmi Sindhagatta

There are a few different ways of doing it, assuming you've already gone through Integrity check and generated the snapshot type required for your use case and etc.

The easiest path would be:

• Download the snapshot/zip file locally to your machine(source)
• Go to CMJ>Deploy(target).
• Select the file downloaded(target).
• Select deploy and go through the analysis process(target).

I strongly sugest testing it in a Stage environment first, and here are other things to consider e.g. the Source/Target version, 3rd party apps version.
