First - Take a backup and restore of the repository using the Informatica Repository Manager console.

Migration can be done at 3 levels: 1.Repository level , 2.Folder level , 3.Object level

Steps for Migration:

1. Export repository and import into the new environment.
2. Use informatica deployment groups
You can create the Deployment Groups in Source Repository using Informatica Repository Manager.
Create Deployment Groups: There are two ways to deploy the object from one environment to another environment by using static and dynamic deployment groups.
3. Copy folders/objects
Create one shared query which includes all required objects then, you can assign the query to deployment group in source repository and then paste it in target repository
4. Export each mapping to xml and import in new

environment

1)Take the backup of your mappings before you replace them.
2)Export your DEV mappings to XML format
3)Import these mappings(Which you are exported to XML format)to PROD Environment
4)Save the mappings

Yes, everything is correct. there is also one other thing, you also have to move parameter files. if you forget your mappings will error out. and also you also need to change the values like dev qat sit values to Prod while you move. and also if there are predefined program (like UNIX or PERL prog) which converts them automatically, then do not worry.
