Hi,
I would make use of the **Export** and **Import** options available in the Data Catalog to migrate the Data Catalog elements such as categories, tags and property groups from one environment to another.
In order to export the elements, I would perform the following steps:
1. Navigate to the ‘**Administration -> Import/Export -> Export**’ option.
1. In the Export dialog window, choose required options such as Content search settings, Personalization settings, etc and click the **Export** button to get a zip file with all the elements in JSON format.
After the elements are exported from the source environment, I would login to the Data Catalog of the target environment and perform the following steps to import the elements:
1. Navigate to the ‘**Administration -> Import/Export -> Import**' option.
1. Select the exported zip file and click the **Import** button.
Additionally, if you would like to automate the movement of elements between different environments, you could utilize the [Import](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/latest/en/vdp/data_catalog/appendix/scripts/import_metadata_script#dc-import-script) and [Export](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/latest/en/vdp/data_catalog/appendix/scripts/export_metadata_script#dc-export-script) scripts located in the <DENODO_HOME>/tools/data-catalog directory or the [REST API](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/latest/en/vdp/data_catalog/appendix/rest_api/rest_api#dc-api-rest) option of the Data Catalog.
You can take a look at the [Import and Export Data Catalog Metadata](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/latest/en/vdp/data_catalog/administration/import_export/import_export) section of the Data Catalog Guide for more information.
Hope this helps!
