Hi Andreas, In this case, copying the Data.fs file isn't a feasible solution because there is plenty of user content that would get over-written. The test instance of course doesn't contain this data. I am pretty new to Zope, so it's possible that I don't fully understand the development process when using this tool, but I would find it surprising if there isn't a way to administer updates without affecting content or manually replicating configuration settings. Is this an inherent weakness of Zope? Joel

You got the solution already : copy the Data.fs

Wow, thanks for the quick response. I took this precaution while customizing a Product that I was working on, but in this case I inherited a system that was primarily customized through the ZMI. Is there any way to transfer those settings?

Hello All,
I need to transfer Plone/Zope settings from a test instance to a live instance of the Zope server. Aside from transferring the entire Data.fs file or manually copying scripts and replicating configuration settings, is there a simple way to do this?
This way is simple if you think about your system setup before starting development. If you put your customization into a dedicated product and put this under revision control then you can easily keep track of change on test and production server.
