Hi Matteo
In larger projects we typically "separate" Dev Servers, Test Servers
and Production Servers. In fact, we separate them physically. For
security reasons you do not want developers to fumble around on Test
Servers. If you have a large project, you are in the middle of testing
and a developer "forgot" something and wants to squeeze it in, Murphy
will be by your side: Something else you tested a few days ago will
not work anymore....
One option is to use the Packager Tool. However, you can also "Export"
the config tree. The third option is to create a simple module and use
the "Version Handler" to update the hierarchy.
Within servers (e.g. within the "Test Server") you can use activation.
However, this only works for "Repository Content" (e.g. Code and
Resource files are not included).
We also follow Rubens "Instance Chain", because each and every change
has to be tested prior to go to production. If you use "activation",
be aware that you might have multiple subscribers, so you have to
enable/disable them for special kind of activations. That's why we in
most cases have "physical" replication, by exporting a hierarchy or
creating packages.
Packages are very useful, because you can also restore them and you
can include files as well.
Cheers

3 questions:
1) what do you mean with "activating the publish mode"?
2) if you leave subscriptions as it, also other repositories will be
activated, not only "config" ones.
3) activation is manual or automatic (I think with observation
module..)?
Thanks for your help..
