Hi All,
One of my customer is using export/import to migrate the customization between environment i.e. development, testing and production. PowerShell commands are given below.
Export : Export-SPWeb –Identity "siteurl" –Path "path\filename.cmp" –IncludeUserSecurity
Import : Import-SPWeb –Identity "siteurl" –Path "path\filename.cmp" –IncludeUserSecurity
Benefit of this approach is, when changes are being migrated, content doesn't migrate. which is fine. however recently i have noticed following issues.
1. Workflow associations are broken.
2. Link between the subscribed content type and content type hub is broken for some content type.
3. Data View webpart link is broken with list if webpart is bind with list guid.
there might be some other problems that i am not aware of. these problems are becuase during the import, new GUIDs are generated.
please provide your views on ths.
Regards Amit
