Steps to export an application in the latest version of Operations Hub.

Before you begin

Log in to Configuration Hub.

About this task

For steps to export applications in the Operations Hub classic version, refer to Export an Application (Classic).
  • To avoid compatibility issues, applications termed as 'legacy' are not supported for export. If you want to export a legacy application, then make a copy of the application and export it.
  • To use or copy an application that was created on a different site, you must export the application, and then import it.
    Tip: If you want to export multiple applications that use the same entities and queries, export them together (instead of exporting them individually).

Procedure

  1. On the navigation panel, select Operations Hub > Applications.
    The existing list of applications appear.
  2. Select the application(s) to export.

    Multiple ways to select:

    For the application you want to export,

    Select > Export App.
    Right-click the application and select Export App.
    Select Multiple Applications to Export:
    1. Select > App Actions

      A selection check box appears next to each application.

    2. Select the check box for the applications you want to export.
    3. Right-click and select Export Apps.
    A confirmation message appears.
  3. Select Ok to confirm the export action.
  4. Required: In case, the application being exported contains extension queries, then the related data sources for extension queries are displayed. Choose the data source(s) you want to export along with the application.
    1. In the Select Datasources screen, select the compatible data sources.
    2. Select Export.
      The exported data is saved as an application artifact (.zip file), which contains:
      • a .zip file for each plug-in used in the application.
      • an .xml file for the remaining components used in the application.

      The file name is appended with _IQPAppPackage to indicate that it is an exported application artifact. For example, if the application name is 'Q4Benchmark', then the exported artifact is named Q4Benchmark_IQPAppPackage.

Results

The exported file is saved to the default download location of the browser.
Important: To avoid system related errors, do not modify original exported zip files and repackage them for import.
