Sync configurations need to be done between servers with same version as migration is not handled. The reason is that often migration needs to be take whole database into account (for instance some definitions removed from configuration to plugin setting, etc.). If you want to export/import configurations between different versions, please upgrade one of them to on same version, then use the sync configurations step to do the job.
I recently found an instance where the sync configurations doesn't work. I implemented a full demo using the latest bleeding-edge version (6.0.7). However, after seeing some of the issues and discussion, I wanted to try the latest stable version, 5.1.43. However, I am not able to use sync configurations, or backup/restore, to migrate my configurations to the earlier version. Ability to export/import configurations as XML, I could do this (recognizing I might have to tweak the XML a little in transit due to the version change).
Another example of usefulness of this utility would be that I could export sample configurations for upload to this site to share techniques with other users. Or, to migrate configurations from one server to another when there is a firewall between them. Please consider re-opening this issue. This is now possible by:
1. upgrade to 3.1.16. 2. set up a maintenance configuration to execute step "maintenance/sync configurations" 3. run the maintenance configuration. |
