Super UserPipeline copy/move from Prod to development
you can back-port from Prod to ITG, and from ITG to DEV. I don't think you can back-port from Prod to DEV directly.
Don't know how many objects you're dealing with but would something like this work in order to maintain stuff in the production space...
1) Save out copies from existing dev/test spaces.
2) Publish everything that doesn't already exist in prod.
3) Wipe your dev and test spaces
4) Backfill to empty spaces from prod.
5) Publish "correct" dev versions into the dev workspace over the top.
I think that will at least protect guids for production.

The option is only available if prior workspaces are empty.
sevenhillsThank you, I read the link before and our dev workspace is not empty.
Like it got messy, because they opened both and we started doing in both prod and dev.

Thank you, we already suggested like we normally do DW backup and restore ... i.e., download and wipe out the whole dev space. Backfill from Prod and apply dev changes. It is complicated, not only technical but also dba team vs bi.
There are about 800+ artifacts, roughly per 130 report collections ~ dataflow, dataset, paginated reports, interactive reports, dashboard.
Thank you.
