It is not a recommended practice to move a workload to a different tier across planned environments. I don't believe Viewpoint Workload Designer will even allow you to do that.
Extra effort has to be made inside of the SLES 11 operating system when workloads are moved from one tier in the hierarchy to another, and it can slow down the state change operation. So it is better not to try to do that.
However, a workload on an SLG Tier can easily have its allocation percent changed across different planned environments, from a high percentage to a low percentage, or vice versa. That is the recommended way to change a workload's priority across a planned environment.
