Using BOX Across Different CIS Versions

[Vince Angulo]

We are upgrading from 6.2.0.2 to 20.1.1.3 and for the first time we have two different non-prod servers to do discovery and validation.

Does anyone have any lessons learned boxing interfaces and export/importing them across versions?

Thanks!

Vince,  We had some lessons learned.

1. When copying the Box from one server to another, use the file transfer methods of the operating system such as SFTP, not the built-in file transfer within the IDE.
2. Use the import/export functionality of the Box tool. Where the box tool creates a single box file.  Don’t just copy the box directory.

If you incorporate these things when using the box you should be able to box from an old version to a new version.
