Pradeep,

If the screens and reports were developed for the same version of OTM, meaning the same release (v5.5) and patch level (for instance CU3), then you shouldn't have any problem porting these to another environment.

For screen customizations (xsl and css files) you'll just need to copy these into the new environment. For Screen Sets, Menu Managers, etc -- you'll need to manually configure the new environment in the same way. There are some ways to automate this process via CSV imports and exports, but they're still a bit buggy.

In the case of reports, you'll need to copy these over to our OTM reports server and then configure them into the system via the OTM UI.

Thanks!

Hi Pradeep,

FOr moving the menu managers and screensets, it is very hard to use the CSV down and upload.
When you are using applications such as TOAD, you want to copy the XML_BLOB into the records to copy them.
You can discuss the validness of this action, but it works very very good. However always be careful.

Best regards,

Bob

I agree with Bob on this one.

I generally use a CSV file to upload a skeleton record (excluding the XML_BLOB), then use toad to copy from one environment to another.
