Portal content alignement

Hello,

what is the best practice for to mantain aligned the portal configuration (roles, objects, i-views, etc...)

between several systems ?

At cthe moment we don't have any J2EE developement infrastructure, so we proceed manually adjusting each system (developement, quality, production): this method

Is there a more structured way using cr's or similar ? This method has a lot of deficiencies.

Thanks for your help.
