Migrating and deploying case management solutions

You can migrate a solution from one development environment to another development environment, a test environment, or a production environment. After you develop and test a case management solution, you must deploy the solution in the production environment to make the solution available for your case workers.

When you migrate a solution, you move the solution definition data and its related assets to a different environment. When you deploy a solution, you make the solution operational in the target environment.

Several types of assets must be exported from the development environment and imported into the target environment. Some assets, such as class definitions and property templates, are usable immediately after migration. Other assets, like workflow definitions, must be deployed to become usable. After migration, the various assets are combined to re-create the solution in the target environment. For information about the tools you need to migrate and deploy the different assets and the task flow for migrating and deploying solutions, see Solution migration and deployment.
