Hi, Yes, your outline is pretty much correct.
1. Export complete DEF (or a prefix or something like that) using RRR|ExportDef (or do it with other tools) 2. Run RRR|DefDiff will produce one def file with new objects and one def file with updated objects, and one def files with objects to delete. 3. RRR|ImportDef can be used to import the updated and new object def files (or you can do this with other tools) 4. RRR|DeleteObjects can delete objects included in the delete-def-file from the target server (or you can delete the objects manually with other tools) After all steps are completed, I typically export a new def file and then use RRR|DefDiff again to verify that the target server looks as desired, meaning no diffs this time.

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.
