import/ export tables from DEV to Prod

sonita · ‎05-05-2016

I have created two tables in DEV instance which I'm trying to bring to prod , what I normally do is to export the table from DEV and import it to Prod. BUT It didn't work now. actually when I imported , the label of the table was label and the data was not inside it and when I tried to show list , it said this table does not exist!

I'm not sure what is happening!

we had a clone recently , can it be the reason maybe?!

In short, yes - create a local update set, make your changes to the table (create, modify, etc.) and it is all recorded in the update set. When you bring the update set over to the other instance (usually via an Update source) and commit it, you're table is created. From there you can export/import the data that goes in that table.

Why didn't you utilize an update set when you created the table in DEV, then just import the update set to PROD?

I have an update set , but tables do not capture in update set , am I right?

They will bring over new tables and changes to tables, they will not bring over data within the table.
