Step by Step Instructions to Promote/Migrate EXTOL Projects from Studio to Server

In the steps below we will review the process to promote Clarify projects from the Cleo Clarify Studio to the Cleo Clarify Server.

These steps would be ideal once the Clarify user has tested and validated the Clarify Projects/Packages/Objects in EXTOL Studio. Below are the testing scenarios for inbound/outbound EDI processes in the Local Studio Console:



Note:It is advisable to use global variables in each of the objects where there a file location is referenced. The locations of some objects might not exist in the exact spots on the Clarify Server. An ideal situation would be where the EXTOL Studio is on a Windows machine while the Clarify Server is on a Linux based machine.

Tag Projects for Production

Before Cleo Clarify Projects are promoted to the Production Server, the projects will need to be tagged. Cleo Clarify users can review Step by Step Instructions to Create Tags for Projects in SVN Repository

Create a Production Workspace

The best practice for this would be to create a new workspace for the Production projects.
File > Switch Workspace > Other

Cleo Clarify Switch to new workspace

A dialog box will appear that will allow the directory and name of the workspace to be changed.

Once created the Clarify user will have an empty workspace. This is where creating tags comes in handy because the Clarify user can create a tag for a specific time when projects were Production ready.

Check out from the SVN Repository

After the new workspace has been created, the Clarify user will want to click on the SVN Repository section at the top right of the Clarify studio.
