Migrating Branches to Different Store

I have two TS environments (Windows, TS 6.5 SP3). Environment "A" has one store (the default store). Environment "B" has two stores (default and external). I want to move a branch from the default store in Environment "A" to the external store of Environment "B" and keep Editions and submit history. Can this be done with "iwmigrate"?

Basically I want to do the following:

Env "A" Branch: /default/WebDeployments/JABS
migrated to...
Env "B" Branch: /external/WebDeployments/JABS

Yes - it can be done with iwmigrate.
I assume that this "external" store is temporary?
If not - I assume you know (if not then, now) that secondary stores require additional ($$) licensing.

We are currently licensing the external store so it's not temporary, but I wasn't sure of the syntax to use in the command since the destination of the branch is different than the source.

The other issue I have is that Env "A" is in a different domain and the Active Directory groups applied are Domain Local. Will iwmigrate apply the came permissions to the branches on the destination that were on the source?

The paths you indicated (/WebDeployments/JABS) are not different relative to the store names (/default, /external) so there should be no issue with the migration in that respect.

With respect to the permissions and such - you'll have to work with iwidmap after performing the migration.

There are a number of KB articles on the support site about both of these operations - I suggest you do some research there first - and then experiment carefully and take extensive notes while doing so.

Thanks, that answers my question.
