Hi All,

I created new update set and created a group. But when i go to the update set, group is not showing in the update log to commit. Can anyone please help me about transferring groups from one instance to other instance?

Regards,

NagaDinesh.

Hi Naga,


                        We have to do this by migrating xml file of that group...

Hi Dinesh,



Groups, Users cannot be moved using update sets. update captures information only for customization's made on the form.


To move all groups from one instance to another,   go to sys_user_group.list table and click on header and export as xml.


Now navigate to another instance and go to sys_user_group.list and import the XML.



Now you should be able to see the new group.



Thanks

Hi Naga,


Step 1 for exporting xml file:--

Step 2 for migrating in another instance:--

You can transfer data like that by exporting the records to XML, and then importing them into the target instance.
