The following steps explain the high-level process to migrate setup tasks from the one environment to another

or to upload the setups

after refresh

Section 1 : Steps for creating configuration package and export setup data:

1. Navigate to Setup and maintenance


2. Click on Tasks and then click Manage Configuration Packages

3. Click on Create Button

4. Click on Search button to find your implementation project


5. Provide the Configuration Package details. Select Source Implementation Project from drop-down list or Click on Search to to search for it. Setup tasks and their associated business objects
that are part of Source Implementation Project, define export and import and the sequence for the configuration package. We can create a configuration package that only includes setup tasks
or setup data. The Tracking Implementation Project is a copy of the source implementation project, which tracks setup tasks and setup data after import.
6. Make sure Setup task list and setup data leaving the default values appearing after selecting the implementation project and click on Next
7. At this step keep the Business Unit required for export and remove the ones not required from the list. To do this select the Business Unit from the Objects Listed for Export and under Business
Unit : Scope remove the ones not required.By default, the configuration package includes all of the setup tasks and associated business objects that are part of the source implementation
project. We can customize a configuration package and choose only business objects that we would like to migrate. An import sequence is derived from the source implementation project and
we can customize it in order of the business object imported. We need to consider data dependency before modifying the sequence to avoid errors during migration. We can filter data that we
would like as part of migration using the screen text options. For example, if migration should only include data related to a particular legal entity, by using the Scope option, we can choose an
appropriate legal entity and export only the process data part of that legal entity
8. After removing the Business Unit that are not required Click on Next
