Copying Objects to Another Environment
SmartBatch provides a tool to help you move objects from one SmartBatch environment to another. For example, you may have a test environment where you want to move some of the objects to production. This tool can also be used in the Enterprise Edition to copy object from one Application Group to another Application Group. When an object is copied from the source to the destination environment, it will be added to the destination unless it already exists. If it exists, it will be updated to match the source data.
The following picture shows the Copy objects window. You can click on "hot spot" areas in the picture below to get detailed information about buttons, controls and fields.
