Promoting Data Item Mappings

You can promote data item mappings to different release environments in the Release Manager.
The promotion is reflected in the Mapping Manager and hence, it is important to assign
promote system environments (for source and target) corresponding to the release environments.

To promote data item mappings, follow these steps:

  1. Under the Project View tab, click the required project.
