Create Configuration Packages for Object Transporter

Create Configuration Packages for Object Transporter

Security: These domains in the Implementation functional area:
  • OX for Non-Implementers
  • Special OX Web Services
You create a configuration package by selecting implementation types and specific instances of those types. Object Transporter can migrate a configuration package containing up to 300 instances and their dependencies.
During migration, Workday prompts you to specify the effective dates for any instances that have effective dates. Any dependencies of an instance with an effective date also inherit this effective date. However, when an instance doesn't have an effective date but its dependencies do, those dependencies inherit the date of migration as their effective date during the migration process. You can change inherited effective dates after migration. Workday can't migrate instances with effective dates in the future.
  1. Sign in to the source tenant where you want to create a configuration package.
  2. Access the
    Create Configuration Package
    task.
  3. Select 1 or more object types to migrate from the
    Implementation Type(s) to Migrate
    drop-down list.
  4. As you complete this task, consider:
    Option Description
    Add Implementation Type(s)
    Click to add 1 or more additional object types to the package.
    Add/Edit Instances
    Click to change instances for an Implementation Type. You can filter Instances based on 1 or more condition rules. When you migrate a filtered configuration package, Object Transporter includes all instances that match the condition rules. It includes even those instances that you create after you create the rules.
