Extract the 11.2 Workbench application configuration your backed up previously in Backing up application content from Workbench into the $BASE_APP_FOLDER/config/migrate_config directory.

After the application configuration is extracted, the directory should contain, among others, the following subdirectories:

Update Authoring application export directory path. Make sure that authoringApplicationExportDirectory is pointing to the correct location under $BASE_APP_FOLDER/config/migrate_config/configuration/tools/deploymentSettings/_.json

Navigate to $BASE_APP_FOLDER/Discover/control directory, and run the importApplication script, passing in the name of the directory into which the application configuration was extracted.

For example:

C:\Endeca\apps\Discover\control>runCommand.sh IFCR importApplication 
$BASE_APP_FOLDER\config\migrate_config

The entire application configuration is imported to Workbench in the new JSON format, along with content privileges.

Export the application content that was just imported. Navigate to the $BASE_APP_FOLDER/Discover/control directory, and run this script: runCommand.sh IFCR exportApplication $BASE_APP_FOLDER/config/import
