Adobe CQ: Copy node from one CQ instance to another using crx/de

Question

I am working with Adobe CQ and testing some code that works on one instance and does not on another. The jcr nodes I am testing the same code with are different and I am able to debug only the working instance(my local one). I need to copy the node from failing CQ instance to another using crx/de or any other tool to test both instances with the same data. How can I do this?

Answer 1

You copy repository contents from one instance to other using the package manager

<host>:<port number>/crx/packmgr/index.jsp .

1. Create a new package with the nodes you want to package as the filters.
2. Build the package
3. download it
4. Upload it to the required instance
5. Install the package
