Is there any way to move/copy assets across systems?

Hi Power users,


I am a pretty newbie and about to move assets sitting on dev machine to prod machine.



I am sure there would be asset id differences between tow machines.



Would export_to_xml.php and import_from_xml.php be helpful to do this?



If someone already done this, please help me out!!

Hi,

Yes the scripts you mentioned above can surely be used to copy across the assets across two systems and as you guessed, it will have different asset ids for the asset. If you want to have the exact same system you might want to back up the original system and restore it on the machine you would want it to copy. Depending upon the setup you might then need to change the configurations in main.inc and db.inc.



Hope that Helps.



Cheers,



Ash
