Include Business Partners in Ensemble Production Exports

Question

Hello! I just had a quick question for anyone out there with more experience on deploying Ensemble productions.

I'm currently trying to export my Ensemble production WITH the Business Partners so I don't have to rebuild or add to that table after I import my Ensemble Production. I know that this is a small thing and doesn't actually affect anything in the production in terms of performance, but I like to have it for better documentation.

I've tried including it in my export, but I'm unable to find it and I'm wondering if there is something obvious that I'm missing?

I'm not sure there's a way to select it when creating a production export.

The data in stored within the Global "Ens.Config.BusinessPartnerD" which you could export separately and then import into your new environment?

As for As I see there is no option to export the Business partners along with production export. Even there is no option with with deployable settings and config.Item definition as well. The Business partner details are stored in Ens. Config.BusinessPartner.

So, I hope you need to manually export your global's and import in to the another instance.

As well as Business Partners, there are several other minor items, such as Schedule Specs, that often need to be deployed to test and live instances.

Deltanji, our source-control solution for IRIS, has built-in support for these kinds of things. It can treat any row in a table as a managed component that can be deployed along with the rest of your production items.
