LCM Universe Connection Change

Problem: User has a test database and a production data base and Business Objects instances. They need to use LCM to migrate the universe from one environment to another. Is it possible? What is the best practice?
Answer: YES!  The connection should have the same name in both places even though the connection behind it will be different. Make sure you map the connection as well in LCM in the promotion screen. Remember to beware of LCM unmapping!
