Hello experts,
What is the best way to mirate the content(Branch, Workarea) from one TeamSite server (TS 7.4.1 Win) to another same config TS server.
Content's EA's need to be maintained and the Production server is the existing running server.
If you're talking about a "simple" 1:1 migration of the content store (e.g.: e:\iw-store\*) from one server to another, both running the same version of TeamSite on the same OS, where the intent is to completely overwrite anything that may exist on the target server - any decent copy utility should work (e.g.: xcopy or similar) - though if you already have "good" backups being made from the original server, you should be able to just restore it from the backup system to the target server.
Is that what you were asking?
If not - please elaborate on your requirements.
Thanks Adam for your reply.
The scenario is somewhat different here.
1. Production Server is already up and running with content.
2. We have done a revamp of the site on say UAT server.
3. Now we want to copy only some Branches from UAT to production which have undergone revamp not the complete store.
4. So migrating or copying the complete iwstore wont work.
We need to migrate only the revamped content and also maintained the versioning of the content on Prod server for the content which would be copied or migrated from the UAT.
Thanks.
The only way to maintain the versioned content on your PROD server and update the content on those branches from changes made on your UAT server is to do a surface copy from the UAT server (staging area or edition recommended) to the PROD server (workarea).
There are several ways you can do this, but probably the easiest would be to use OpenDeploy, which can be configured to transfer EAs directly (rather than writing a script to be run on one system to record them and another script to run on the other system to recreate them)
As you indicated, copying the entire store won't work for you. If you wanted to replace the specific branches on PROD with the UAT version, iwmigrate would be the correct tool, but that's not what you're talking about either; so OD is your best bet.
