Migrating objects between environments
When you customize or develop an application, you can migrate new or changed objects,
such as business objects, forms, and workflows, to other IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities
environments.
Object migration overview
You migrate objects from one Maximo Real Estate and Facilities environment to another by using the platform Object Migration tool.
Exporting objects
You migrate groups of objects to other Maximo Real Estate and Facilities environments by first creating an export package and adding objects to the package. You then export the objects to a file and import the file into the target environments.
Importing objects
After you export objects to the migration package .zip file, you can import the migration package file into other IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities environments.
Migrating database table indexes
You can view, alter, drop, and create database table indexes in the Database Table Manager tool. In addition, the Database Table Manager supports the migration of database table indexes from one IBM TRIRIGA environment to another.
Configuring the object migration log
The export and import processes in Object Migration generate informational messages when an object’s dependent object names cannot be determined or verified. The messages are sent to a log file named ObjectMigration.log .
Exporting workflows as text
A workflow can be exported to a text file. This text file contains a text-based model of the workflow logic. You can export a workflow before you include it in a migration package, or before you import a migration package that contains a workflow.
Downloading UX content
UX content can be downloaded as one or more content files, such as .html and .css files. You can download a content file before you include it in a migration package, or before you import a migration package that contains a content file.
