Can anyone point me in the direction of what exactly in the database needs to be copied over in order to migrate all the configuration changes in the Settings and Developer sections of the CMS? Every time I try i forget something and my new data types and other items don't appear in the migrated environment.
I'm not wanting to migrate any content, just all the settings that have been changed locally.
Perhaps you should have a look at the Umbraco Courier package, This package is designed so you are able to deploy your website changes using only a right click.
So you can deploy chages between to Umbraco installations. You can transfer content media temples css files document types, data types and so on. http://our.umbraco.org/projects/umbraco-pro/umbraco-courier-2 And this packages is also have an package of Umbraco 7. The packages is a Pro package which mean that is a package that is developed by Umbraco HQ, and for using this on a live environment you need to order a license.
Thanks for your reply and for everyone looking into this.
I don't know enough about Courier to know if it can handle this out of the box or if it will require special configuration/coding. (assuming that would require the more expensive license?)
I based my custom section off of Tim's article here -> http://www.nibble.be/?p=440 and my data is stored in its own table (not a default Umbraco table)
Dennis asked Paul Sterling on Twitter last night and he answered "Maybe". It depends if Courier picks it up. I have not been using Courier that much myself so I'm not certain how custom stuff is being picked up.
But I tweeted Paul the link to this topic so perhaps he will answer when he finds the time at some point. If he notices my tweet I think there might be a chance that he will provide an answer within the next day or two.
Ha, thanks for the follow up Jan. I went ahead and bought a license for Courier just for what it is already capable of. If I need to I can migrate the custom data separately then so be it, but would be pretty nice if I could get Courier to do it for me :)
The answer is, for the most part, Courier can deploy whatever you tell it to. So, without knowing details of your custom work I'll point you to this documentation on creating a data resolver:

You can see more about the Courier product here: http://umbraco.com/products/more-add-ons/courier-2
Hope this could be a solution for you.

Hi Matt
In that case you should probably consider using Courier http://umbraco.com/follow-us/blog-archive/2015/1/9/courier-for-umbraco-72
Another option could be to use umport http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/umport
Hope this is what you're looking for.

Thanks for your replies.
Will Courier allow me to also deploy changes to custom backoffice sections that i develop?
guess not?
Hi Matt,
I asked Paul Sterling from the HQ on Twitter yesterday, and he tweet me back with this answer. https://twitter.com/paulsterling/status/555532926180282368
I also know Jan has send him the link to this thread, so probably he will answer this evening.

Sorry for the disturbance.

http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Products/UmbracoCourier/Developer/DataResolvers
There are some good example of custom data resolvers around, do a code search on GitHud and you'll see what I mean.
is working on a reply...
