Moving schedules between instances of Project Server 2007

[MSPLearner]

I have about 20 schedules (separate .mpp files) that were created and saved
in a Test Instance of Project Server 2007. I need to move all 20 to a
Production Instance of PRoject Server 2007. This schedule set consists of one
"Master Give/Get" schedule that ties external dependencies between the
remaining schedules. So the 19 schedules have external dependancies ONLY to
"Master Give/Get".

I want to avoid breaking and having to redo the external links. What is my
approach (sequence) to loading the schedules so that if possible, I don't
break the links? Or is there an import/export facility that might be useful
for this task?

Thanks in advance

You'll need to recreate these, so document them on paper, or document them
in the system by setting a flag field to indicate an external dependency and
note the dependency task in the notes field.

Do cross project dependencies in the mpp files saved from the test
system identify a projectserver path to the dependency (<>\plan) or an
"mpp" path. If you have saved the plans and retained the project
server path, I see no reason why you cannot import them into the new
server and the relationships should be sustained.
