  • to transfer the archive with signed files to the target environment. This includes to use any means for file transfer such as copying between servers, use of SCP, SFTP etc.
  • to import the archive with signed files to JOC Cockpit in the target environment.
• The final step includes to deploy the imported signed configuration objects to the target environment.
