Hello All,

 

I have found an solution.

 

Firstly need to export the folder content using Export from file.

Next, need to create the Project and along with Folder XML name and load it using Load from file

I have tested with bulk projects and got created and folders are also created successfully.

 

Thanks to all your inputs.

Your request isn't entirely clear, but if I understand correctly, you've created a project in the DEV system with a folder structure and objects inside it.

You can replicate this structure by saving the project as a template, exporting the template from DEV, and importing it into another system.

 

The objects contained in the project's folders, however, must also be created separately in the new system.

Absolutely right !, what you had understand my post. Should I use Save as Template or Export as Template ?

If you are referring to project templates, you can save your project as a template then export that template to a output file. From there, I believe the process is you can import that file as a project template in your Test environment. You need to make sure any dependencies match from environment to environment.

Hi ​@DA_11608117,

As ​@Marco Tosin , ​@avillanueva mentioned, you can use project templates to maintain the folder structure and team members.

If you require the same data, you will need to recreate it or use Import/Export Management, or create demo data through load files.

Hi ​@DA_10909715,

Could you please clarify your requirement?
Do you need to replicate the same data, or is it sufficient to maintain the same project folder structure, team members, and ACLs?
