Hi

We have a backup box which some people use to test on. We have a developer who has written some sessions for us on this backup box. Our normal Baan admin guy is on leave and we need to bring the new sessions onto our main box. I am not 100% sure how to do this but have looked around and found the Export Data Dictionary session. I am guessing I could list the sessions I wish to export, send them out, then use the Import Data Dictionary session to bring them in?

Is this the correct way of going about this? Anyone have any pointers or things I should look out for?

Thanks
Haggis

Yes, "Export data dictionary" and "Import data dictionary" are the perfectly right sessions for this.

Hi,

The new sessions may have new domains, tables, forms or reports to don't forget to add them to the session list.

if you have *new* sessions, you also have to run ttadv5210m000 "create runtime data dictionary" for the appropriate package combination (best choice: select the correct one).

Hi,

to import a few sessions to the production box you may also use a patch created thru customization administration. I like this particular way as I can keep the patch ready to import into a text or prod vrc at any time. Also once maintained this helps keep track or the version changes and is faster to move into place.

This procedure is actually a wrapper over the export / import process and requires maintainance of the cust admin parts.


The steps involved are
1. maintain cust admin parts for all sessions / scripts / tables / new components developed.
2. create a patch code.
3. copy the components to the patch and export
4. import the patch into any vrc you require.
