Moving configuration and data from a sandbox environment to a production environment
Hi,
I am new to salesforce, I currently have 2 salesforce environments, a sandox and a production environment. What are the best practices for:
1) Moving from configuration data from a sandbox to a production environment? Does Salesforce provide any tools?
2) Moving actual data from the same?
thanks for your help,

1.In ecllipse, in the project navigator window when you go to the folder for classes and right click you get the option"Force.com" below it you will be provided the option "run all Tests" it will run the all test methods.
2. Yes the unit tests are executewd at the time of deployment.

In case you want to find in detail about this IDE refer to the links below:-
Also if you deploy to a production organization:
Note the following:
Hope this helps.
To move configuration data from Sandbox to Production, you can use Change Sets, Packages, the Metadata Toolkit (e.g. Ant scripts), and the Force.com Eclipse IDE. To move actual data, you can use the Import Wizards (for some data types) or the Apex Data Loader (for virtually all data types). Note that moving record data may require mapping Sandbox record IDs to Production record IDs, depending on if the data originated in Sandbox or not.
Hi,
You can move configuration data from sandbox to production through eclipse or change sets.

Changesets is a feature of Salesforce.com

All,
Thanks for your replies. I have a followup question.
I was able to install the IDE and get my configuration in eclipse. I had the following questions
1) How do I go about executing the unit tests?
2) Are the unit tests executed when I go to deploy back to salesforce?
If there are any guides that provide this information it will be helpful to me.
thanks,
Mirko
