Hello!
I have a question regarding how to move the Connection & Credential Aliases, Connection records and Credential records when working with several instances (e.g. Dev, Test and Prod).
Technically an Alias has possibility to add several connections and activate/deactivate them according to the instance you are working in.
Nevertheless, only the Alias ir captured in the Update Set.
So I was wondering what is the best practice to pass the connections from one instance to the other.
A. Should I deploy only the Alias record and create connection and credential records manually in each instance (but then why there is this convenient way of recording several connections and just activate the one you need in each instance).
B. Should I force connection and credential records to an update set (removing the credential password beforehand), and then after deployment activate the corresponding connection and add the credential password manually?
C. Other steps?
Thank you!
