I'm a relatively new Altova MapForce/FlowForce user; we just started using the system. Can anyone recommend documentation on best practices for a migration process?

I'm thinking specifically about the .MFD files in MapForce and both the Jobs and Mappings in FlowForce. Obviously, I create them in Dev, where they point to dev Data Sources and file server locations. When it comes time to migrate them up to Test, and then Production, is there a process that does not include manually changing the Data Source(s), Credentials, Directories, etc.?

Thanks!
PS I did search here and elsewhere for this, but found nothing helpful.

You can use Global Resources in MapForce to define your paths and database connection details: https://www.altova.com/manual/Mapforce/mapforceenterprise/index.html?mffglobal_resources.htm
