Updating Routines via Imports

[gup]

We have created our own routines for a project we are working on. When we change something on a routine ( such as modifying code ), what is the best way to get that change into another environment? We have a TEST, DEV , QA and Production setup.

It gives READ ONLY errors and will not update the routines in Production.

Is there a preferred method to get these routines updated?

Thanks -- Matt

The best way to transfer routines between projects is through Export & import (DSX files)... Make sure that you have relevant privileges in the projects.

If you are getting READ ONLY errors.. find out whether it is a Protected project..

Matt,

I think You are getting erors because of permissions issue.
When You are Initialize/Promote in DS Version Control use appropriate Credentials.

If you do it through Import/Export anyone who has permissions to login into QA/TEST/Prod env they can change the code too.Code won't be in Sync.

If you want to keep the routines as Read Only then best way to do that is use the DataStage Version Control.
