Create Package.xml for Roles

Question

Hi All,

I have to create a package.xml or Changeset for the roles that I renamed/created/removed under "Sales WW" along with it's sub-ordinates as highlighted. How can I create a package.xml for "Sales WW" along with it's sub-ordinates only (actually, there are about 100 roles under "Sales WW" should I include all roles)?

<types>

<members>Sales_WW</members>

</types>

This is just pushing "Sales_WW" role without it's sub-ordinates.

-----------------------------

<types>

</types>

This is pushing everthing in the role hierarchy which I am not allowed to.

Please advise..

Thank you

Check this article on how to migrate role from sandbox to Production

Another solution I can think of, using Ant download the current metadata file from the sandbox and then you can remove the unwanted types and push the updated file to PROD

Srinath, To retrieve a package, set the name of the package in the packageNames field in RetrieveRequest when you call retrieve(). The package.xml manifest file is automatically populated in the retrieved .zip file. The element in package.xml contains the name of the retrieved package. If you use an asterisk wildcard in a element to retrieve all the components of a particular metadata type, the retrieved contents do not include components in managed packages. The easiest way to retrieve a component in a managed package is to retrieve the complete package by setting the name of the package in the packageNames field in RetrieveRequest, as described above. The following sample package.xml manifest file illustrates an alternative to retrieve an individual component in a package.
