Promoting the Serena Request Center Snapshots

Perform the following steps to promote the Request Center snapshots.

1. Log in to SBM Application Repository using the following URL:

   http://serverName:port/mashupmgr

2. Select the Snapshots tab.
3. In the Sources drop-down list, select Serena Request Center.
4. Follow the steps below and promote the Request Center snapshots in the order described in Promoting the Snapshots.
   1. Select the snapshot, and then click the Promote icon.
   2. On the Destination page, select the destination environment, and then click Next.
   3. On the Entities page, select which entities to import. It is recommended that you import all of them, but it is not mandatory.
      Important: Select the Merge conflicts option if you have already promoted the snapshot to the target environment and you want to preserve changes that you made to the existing application. For example, if you want to keep new user roles that you added to an application, select the Merge conflicts check box to preserve them in the target environment after the promotion. If Merge conflicts is not selected, the existing entities will be deleted in the target environment.
      The following tables describe which options must be selected for each snapshot and which are optional.
      Table 1. Entities

      Type	Notes
      Projects	Mandatory.
      Notifications	Optional, but suggested. Not importing notifications means that no notifications will be available until you create them.
