You can move user interface components and applications
across servers, for example to move from a test environment to a production
environment. Different members of the organization can configure different
applications and then move them to a centralized test environment.
Procedure
- Create a backup directory for the XML files you are moving. You can use the backup files to restore application definitions
in the future, if necessary.
- Open the application on the source server, and click Export
Application Definition.
- Save the code as an XML file in the backup directory you
created.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each application that you want
to export.
- Make a copy of the XML file(s) you created.
- Paste the copy of the XML files onto the target server.
- Open the Application Designer on the target server, click Import
Application Definition, and navigate to the XML files. When you import an application, you overwrite the application
in the database and not in the directory of presentation.xml files.
