Concept: Object Transporter 2.0
Object Transporter 2.0 is the successor to the original Object Transporter (Object Transporter 1.0). It’s more scalable and can more efficiently enable you to move objects and their dependencies between tenants. While it migrates configuration data for an object and the dependent objects that the instance uses, it doesn't migrate transactional or reference data.
Example: A report definition references a calculated field that in turn references a location. When you migrate the report, you also migrate the calculated field, but not the location.
The
Object Transporter Supported Objects (OX)
report details which objects you can migrate. Among other improvements, Object Transporter 2.0 supports migration use cases that weren't previously possible. Example: You can use it to migrate these objects:
- Security Configuration Packages.
- Custom objects.
Also, Object Transporter 2.0 enables Customer Central Security Administrators to select which users can migrate Security Configuration Packages.
Object Transporter 2.0 is part of your Customer Central tenant. You can access it there or you can begin the migration process on your source tenant. In the latter case, Workday redirects you to Customer Central to complete the migration.
Object Transporter 2.0 supports migrations between these tenant types:

Preview
Defer migrating to your Production tenant if the content relies on functionality that Workday hasn’t yet delivered to Production tenants. You must wait until Workday completes the delivery cycle to Production before you can successfully migrate. Example: Workday delivers a new report to Preview tenants, which you create a customized report from. Workday plans to deliver the new report to Production tenants in 2 weeks. You must wait until Workday delivers the new report to Production tenants before you can migrate the customized report to your Production tenant. |

We sometimes abbreviate Object Transporter to OX in Workday.
