Brian, I have used Misi's tools in batch files and, yes, they can be automated, i.e called from an escalation.
One of my favorite tricks is opening several DOS windows and running concurrent instances of rrrChive to sync data across servers. In that case, each instance synchronized data from forms with different prefixes (CHG, SYS, INC, etc.) I recommend the 'rrr' tools as they have helped me MANY times, for many clients. I haven't used Migrator in a long time (thanks, again Misi), but the last time I did it was less reliable and slower than the free tools.

Your tools are always top notch. Would this be the correct steps: - run RRRExportDef on both Source and Destination server - run RRRDefDiff on the files created - run RRRImportDef or RRRDeleteObject based on the results of RRRDefDiff So it looks like for RRRImportDef I would need to rerun RRRExportDef based on RRRDefDiff results. For RRRDeleteObject I would feed the parameters of the objects I would like to delete from RRRDefDiff. If that's the correct steps, can it be automated in a batch file or does it require manual intervention?

It has been years since I've messed with it. I've used it in the past to migrate small amounts of code from dev to test to production. What I'm looking at now is using it as a sync tool between the environments for code only. I've usually just done a database backup and restore in the past and for small code migrations I just export/import .def files. There are definitely pros/cons to all these methods. My plan now is to use RRRChive to migrate data updates and BMC Migrator to do code migration. This will give me much more control then a simple database backup and restore. Is anyone currently taking this approach between dev/test/prod. We're using MS SQL 2012 on the backend, which I'll use database replication between prod and coop.
