Introducing the Test to Prod migration workflow

The second use case and workflow the Configuration Mover functionality supports is the migration of configuration settings and structure from a buyer’s test and development landscape into the live production instance of SAP Fieldglass. This use case is commonly known as Test-to-Prod and was historically managed via a manual implementation process, even with the support and use of integration tools and dedicated teams available to customers. By following the same process outlined in the Gold-to-Test, clients can leverage Configuration Mover functionality to select their personal tenant as the source object and define their production tenant as the final desired target.

When utilizing the Configuration Mover feature to migrate configuration data from Test to Production, the same options, selections, and functionalities all apply – minus the initial selection of choosing a best practice landscape to import data from. Once the initial Gold Buyer landscape option is declined, a buyer will navigate through the same online form page and choose all relevant configuration elements they wish to move into the SAP Fieldglass Production landscape. It is important to notate that in an effort for the integration pull to successfully operate, the Configuration Manager user is required to be logged into their Production instance of SAP Fieldglass to integrate from their defined test environment.

As discussed in the first unit, the integration APIs associated with the configuration migration process are primarily labeled with a naming convention of Test to Prod, along with the associated configuration or structural object that they are uploading or downloading. After the Configuration Mover selections are submitted, a script will run the associated integration APIs in the background until all configuration elements are delivered to the target destination. Associated and required connectors are listed within the Config Mover UI for reference as well when selecting configuration elements to import.

The lesson covers the use of Configuration Mover for migrating configuration settings from a buyer’s test environment to a live production instance in SAP Fieldglass. It details the process and benefits of the Test-to-Prod workflow, as well as detailing the use of the associated integration connectors to achieve the expected results.

• Migrating Configuration: Configuration Mover supports the migration of settings and structure from test to production in SAP Fieldglass.
• Process Overview: Clients use an online form to select configuration elements to move into the production landscape.
• Automation Benefits: Historically manual, this process is now automated, reducing the need for dedicated teams and integration tools..
• API Connectors: The integration APIs, named Test-to-Prod, run in the background to deliver configuration elements to the target destination.
• UI Assistance: Associated connectors are listed in the Config Mover UI for reference during selection.
