help on MOVE from one server to another

[mjp9119]

Hi , I need to know which is the best way to move an installation from one server to another .

I have a Sugar Pro 4.5.1e tunning under windows with some upgrade safe customizations ( all made with the Studio )
and need to move this install to another server.

The problem is -due to security policies on the new location- I cannot simply copy any files all I´m supposed to do is a clean install on the new location and then import customizations .

I don´t worry about importing data. No need for that

I just need all the custom fields that were added via studio ( I think I can do that from export custom fields ) and those fields inserted in the EditViews, DetailViews etc in the new location .


My question is can I import those customizations ( made with the Studio) , the ones performed on the templates ?

If that is possible it would save a lot of time for me by not having to redo all the manual work with the studio.

Any ideas are welcome.

Very interesting scenario. You can import the custom fields but not the layout.

Yes, that is what I was affraid of..
In other words there´s No method in which you can "Import" -like in some automated manner, not manually- the templates customizations. Is that correct ?

And the only way to get those templates customizations into the new install is by means of simple file copy of every module.
is that right? I´m talking here only about EditViews and detailViews ,not data.
