Transporting Parts of a Workspace to Another Workspace

Context

Use this procedure if you want to transport parts of a workspace into another workspace. You have to create a propagation list with the Design Time Repository (DTR) console and while creating it specify which sub trees in the DTR workspace to add and which sub trees to skip. If you want further filtering (for example skip all files which end with .xyz ) then you have to remove these files from the propagation list one by one.

Note that if you start transporting on your own (without using CMS) then you have to take care about tasks which normally CMS handles. Especially you have to take care that your transports gets activated and released. Also you should keep in mind that between the workspaces where you do filtered transport there may also be normal CMS track connections configured. Make sure that between the two workspaces between you do filtered transports there are no uncontrolled CMS based transports (Track connections) which transport without any filters.

Procedure

Start DTR Console.

For more information about how to start the DTR Console, see Starting Command Line Tools .
Connect to the DTR which host the source workspace for your transport.

Use the connect command of the DTR Console. For more information about the DTR Console, see DTR Console . For information about the commands of the tool, use the help command.
Use the mkproplist to create a new empty propagation list for the source workspace (use the -w option to specify the source workspace).
Use the populateproplist command and the -i option to step by step add those subtrees of the workspace which you want to include in the transport.
Use the populateproplist command and the -e option to step by step add those subtrees of the workspace which you want to exclude from the transport.
( Optional ) If you want to further filter out certain files use the search command to search these files. For each of the found files use the populateproplist command to exclude the file
Use the close command to close the propagation list.
Use the export and import command to bring the propagation list to the DTR server hosting the target workspace.
Use the integrate command to integrate the propagation list into the target workspace. This is most likely the .../dev/inactive workspace of the track. If there is also a CONS system configured use the integrate command again to integrate the propagation list into the .../cons/inactive workspace.
Use the Transport View in the Developer Studio to activate the propagation list in the DEV and in CONS system. For more information about how to trigger the transport, see Transporting the Software to the Transport System .
