Reconcile differences in administration data between Teamcenter sites

Understanding the process to reconcile administration data between two sites. You may need to determine why two sites behave differently, or may want to ensure that the administration data is the same at both sites to allow consolidation of data. Use the following process to reconcile administration data between two sites. Process Overview The process involves exporting administration data, generating a comparison report, analyzing differences, and importing data with appropriate merge options. Export the administration data from both sites. Generate an administration data comparison report. The report shows the areas that differ between the sites for each type of administration data. View the comparison report and analyze the differences. After you determine the administration data that requires modification at a target site, import the data from the source administration data package. Set the appropriate merge options during the import to ensure you get only the desired data modification. Caution When you export and import administration data between sites, it is important that the schemas for the administration data and any related objects involved in the transfer are the same at both sites. Example Given a situation where: A custom business object type exists in the schema at an exporting (source) site, but not at the importing (target) site. A revision rule included in the administration data export refers to an instance of the custom business object. Then: The administration data import succeeds, but errors occur during activities involving the revision rule due to the nonexistent custom business object.
