RE: Universe CMS server Migration
I think you want to change the universes connetion info. Am I right? Then click on file>parameter and change the connetion to other database but be sure the database must be identical

RE: Universe CMS server Migration
Hmm in your case database of both universe is different. If you want to make them identical just create a one new copy of database at any side to make the database look replica of each other on onsite and offshore. Now create new universe connection for the new universe and point the existing universe to new database keep track of warning and errors while pointing to new database. Resolve them later. Also perform all the integrity checks to ensure that universe objects points to correct database fields.

RE: Universe CMS server Migration
If you are doing development offshore and then migrating the universe onto onshore then following recommendations.

XI Release 1/2/3

Migrate your development using import wizard. Create two connections one for your offshore database and one for your on shore database ( Production database i assume). When migrating the universe and universe connection using import wizard CUID for universe and universe connection will remain same. And also this means that security will remain same as well.


It really depends on how you migrate from offshore to onshore. You may be able to solve the problem of migrating.

Regarding merging does it mean onshore there is some development going on and offshore as well there is some development going on. If this is the case then you will have to replicate the work which onshore team has done or you will have to import onshore universe to your offshore repository and then do the offshore changes once again. There is no automatice merging of universes. Best practice is not to do nay changes in onshore universe and have your offshore univese exact replica of onshore.
