How to perform migration in DRM

Master data and metadata lies in DRM Development instance can be migrated to any other instances of project such as STG, UAT, PROD etc. either way in multiple ways.

DRM Migration utility has given the flexibility to extract project artifacts such as Exports, External connections, Properties etc. and it is common for any approach I show in this blog.

Bottle neck moment in migration is building Hierarchies and populating value for properties.

Approach 1: 
Extract metadata using exports from source environment along with required property values.
Create an action script and execute them in the target environment.

“This approach required your extra attention to make sure you have updated every single required property.”

Approach 2: 
Use In-house methods to migrate metadata from one environment to other environment.
From DRM web console you can take back up of any version from source.
Restore the backup version in target environment.

"This approach requires master data synchronization between source and target environments."

Stay tune to my blog for detail level approaches.

Happy learning J
