Exporting an Application
Exporting produces a ZIP archive containing the application's workflows, resources, and schemas, along with its manifest, test cases, variables, and reference data. Use an export to back up an application, move it to another workspace, or share it with another environment.
Before you begin
The application must be active. Deactivated applications cannot be exported until you activate them again.
Export an application
- Right-click the application in the Applications panel and select Export Application.
- If the application references files outside itself, a dependency list appears. Review the referenced items and select Export to include them.
- Save the archive when your browser prompts you.
The archive is named after the application.
What the archive contains
| File | Contents |
|---|---|
| The application folder | Workflows, resources, and schemas |
manifestData.json | The application manifest, when one is linked |
testCaseData.json | Saved test cases, when any exist |
reference.json | References to items outside the application |
tableMetadata.json | Metadata for any tables the application uses |
Variable groups are exported as their own JSON files, each named after the group.
How you know it worked
Your browser downloads the ZIP archive. Open it to confirm it contains the application folder and the JSON files listed above.
