Best Practices for Moving Method Directives from Pilot to Prod

[cnewbould (Cory Newbould)]

Is there any tools or anything that we can use to move a method directive from Pilot to Prod or is are only option to recreate it manually in each environment?

There are at least a few ways you can use:
Solution Workbench, add all the ones you want to a solution, built it, then import
I prefer using directive groups, (if needed I will change the directive group to something like MOVE), then you can use Directive Export\Directive Import by group.

I mainly use groups also, but in groups or solution workbench you need to make sure to override the existing group or bpm or you will end up with duplicates.

This is my preferred method. Group associated BPM’s from an entire project into a group and treat it basically a single module/library that’s swapped in as a whole unit.
