Copying metadata and code from one Production org to another

You can use the Force.com IDE to do this. Follow the download and installation instructions here: Force.com IDE Installation

Once the Force.com IDE is installed, create a new project and provide the source org's login information and choose all meta-data objects you want to deploy to another org. Once they've all be downloaded into your project, right-click on the project and select "Force.com->Deploy to Server" and the tool will walk you through the process with a wizard.


You can also use the Ant based Force.com Migration Tool:

I should point out that the following items cannot be deployed through Eclipse (at least from what I can find):

  • Approval Workflows (Available as of Summer '13)
  • Chatter Settings
  • UI Settings
  • Lead Settings
  • Email Settings
  • Organization Settings
  • Outlook Configurations
  • Offline Configurations
  • Mobile Configurations
  • Lead Assignment Rules
  • Case Assignment Rules
  • Custom Object Criteria Based Sharing Rules
  • Content
  • Knowledge
  • Ideas
  • Queues (not positive on this since I know Groups can be deployed now)
  • Time-Dependent Actions (the rules can be deployed, but the time-dependent part needs to be re-created)
  • Email Services
  • Scheduled ApexJobs/Reports/Dashboards
  • OrgWide Email Addresses
  • Renamed Fields/Objects
  • Individual Users Email Signatures, Chatter Settings, Outlook Configuration, Offline Settings, Personal Groups, Update Reminder Settings
  • All Reports, Dashboards or Email Templates that are in a users "My Personal Reports" or "My Personal Templates" folder
  • All Private List Views
  • Anything considered "Data" (with the exception of Documents, which for some reason can be deployed through Eclipse).
