Hi Nicolas,
In you development server,
1. Create a new iview  (With new from PAR file option). The iView wizard gives you the option to choose the PAR file available on your development portal.
2. Now create a Transport Package. Navigate to System Administration - Transport - Export.
Navigate to your Transport Folder in PCD.
Now Create a new Transport Package and add the iView to the package (iView created earlier from PAR file).
3. Now go to Transport Package properties and Make sure, you are changing the property id prefix to * .
This will include every object associated with the iView while manually exporting.
4. Now click on the EXPORT button. This will export the required PAR file with. This in turn create an EPA file. save it to your desktop.
5. Now in Quality server,
Do the manual Import.
Navigate to System Administration - Transport - Import.
Browse the EPA file on your desktop and say IMPORT.
This way, you will be able to get your PAR file as well as your required portal object (here the iView) in quality server.
Hope this helps,
Cheers!!!!!
