Title: How to migrate a Global Color Palette from one environment to another
Post by: rockytopmark on 12 Aug 2019 09:47:07 AM
Team -

I have created a Global Color Palette in our 11.1.1 environment (using Manage > Customization > Palettes)
I am seeking to deploy this to another environment but not seeing a way to accomplish this.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards, Mark

That's a very good point! I would have expected to see it in the Library section when creating a deployment, but it isn't there.

I have a nasty feeling you might have to manually re-create your palettes, but I'm hoping I'm wrong!

Yeah, IBM support confirmed the same just now... not something that can be migrated.

Boo to them!

Oh yuk!! Thanks for confirming, Mark. One for the enhancements list, maybe?

Hi there,

Does anybody know if this migration from one environment to another is made possible yet?

We have a strange problem with manually creating the palettes in development/production. I created 2 identical palettes in the environments, same name, same colors. However when using the custom palette in a dashboard viz in development and exporting/importing this to production, another palette is chosen so the dashboard looks different.

Suggestions are very welcome.
