Moving an application to production
- To move applications to production after you have completed testing the development environment.
- To move applications to a different farm. For example, to test a new version of Infor d/EPM.
- To move applications from a development single tenant to a production single tenant. Some operations require the assistance of Cloud Ops because of the upload limit of 128 MB.
