Creating an Export Package

Adeptia provides a intuitive interface to create an export package using the Export Package option under the Solution Promotion feature. The export package contains the definition of the objects you want to migrate. Once created, you can use it to generate the export.zip file that contains the exported objects.

	You may want to configure the solution promotion properties described in the Migration Configuration section on the Microservice Settings - Webrunner page before you begin the export operation.

Prerequisite
