Does N2O automatically delete object code after migrating it?
N2O offers two migration options, MOVE and COPY. When the COPY option is used, N2O will not delete code after a migration has completed. When the MOVE option is specified, N2O will automatically delete source and/or object code from the previous environment. This option allows a site to automatically “clean up” its libraries as part of the migration cycle. The MOVE option also allows for “Deferred MOVEs.” When a Deferred MOVE takes place, N2O will only delete the code from the previous environment after a specified time period has elapsed (e.g., “Move this from test to production and delete it from test after 3 days.”). This option gives you the time to be certain that migrated code passes all quality assurance tests before it is deleted from the development area.
