Steps: Create Configuration Extracts
To use Customer Central:
To create configuration extracts: Permissions granted by the Customer Central security administrator on the
Maintain Access to Customer Central Tooling
task.You can create an extract of a Configuration Package or Security Configuration Package from a Sandbox or Implementation tenant and download it locally for reuse later. Create an extract when:
- You want to reuse the same tenant configuration multiple times across different tenants.
- You want to migrate a configuration to a tenant with a different billing ID.
- You want to save your current tenant configuration before a tenant refresh and then upload it to the same tenant after the refresh.
- You can skip this step if the Configuration Package that you want to use for your extract is already in the Implementation or Sandbox tenant.
- Sign in to Customer Central as a Customer Central User or Administrator.
- Access theCreate Configuration Extracttask.If you haven't already created a Configuration Package, you can do so in the task before creating an extract.
- Select the web service version to use for extracting the configuration.
- Select the source tenant. Example: An Implementation or Sandbox tenant.
- Select the type of Configuration Package you want to extract.If you want to migrate an extract of a Security Configuration Package, the Customer Central Security Administrator must assign you access to do so.
- From the resulting table, select the Configuration Package to extract.Workday creates an extract file of the type .dat from the Configuration Package.
- From Extraction Reports, click the link for your extract to download it locally.
Workday encyrpts the extract file during creation. You can't modify it. If necessary, recreate the Configuration Package with the modifications you need, and then extract it again.
When ready, you can upload the extract file to:
- The same tenant.
