Migrate View to Another Environment
Migration is the process of exporting or importing a component from one environment to another environment. You can migrate a Commit Journal view from a source environment to a destination environment if the view is not already present. Migration does not change, delete, or update an existing performance view.
If you publish a view for use by specific users and/or business groups and then migrate that view, the view in the destination environment is no longer published with access assigned to those groups. You can manually publish the view to the appropriate users/groups after migration. The system designates the Eagle user who migrates the views as the owner of those views in the destination environment.
To export a view:
- From the Performance Center window, click the Performance Desk and click Commit Journal in the left navigation.
You see the Commit Journal workspace displaying a list of available views in the right navigation. - Under Views, select the view that you wish to export.
- Click the Migrate icon on the ribbon and then select Export.
You see the Export workspace with the components of the view you selected in the Available Components section. - Select an Output File by clicking Browse.
