Importing and Exporting Deployment Packages

In FintechOS, users with elevated privileges (admin users) can export metadata from an environment and import it into another environment, using deployment packages.

Deployment packages are text-based so they can be version controlled to have their history inspectable with text-diff tools.

In FintechOS, you have three options for importing and exporting deployment packages, as follows:

In FintechOS Studio, from the DevOps menu > Deployment Packages. For more information, see the FintechOS Studio, section Deployment Packages.
Using the customization set methods of the API. For information on how to import and export packages using customization sets), see FintechOS API documentation.
From the command line by using the FtosPkgDeployer tool.

import / export in / from server a customization set from / in a local file.
