Export an Application

Exporting saves an application’s metadata as an .expx file (in case of a process application) or a .dmnx file (in case of a decision application) that can be imported as a new application on another system.

Note:

You should not modify the contents of an exported file. If the contents of an exported file is modified, then the file becomes corrupt and it cannot be imported.

What's exported?

All metadata (design time settings) from the application is exported, except for:

• Credentials
• Role assignments

Credentials and roles need to be reconfigured after import.

Export from the All Applications, Process Applications or Decision Applications page

1. From the list of applications, hover at the far side of the application you want to rename and choose Export from the menu.
2. In the dialog that appears, choose Save File and click OK.
3. Specify a name and location for the .expx file or the .dmnx file, and click Save.

   Note that you can specify any name for the .expx or .dmnx file while saving it.

Export from within a selected process application

1. Click the down arrow next to the application's name and version.

2. In the Version pop-up dialog that appears, click View more options and choose Export.

   You get a confirmation dialog that the file has been exported successfully and the file gets automatically downloaded to your local system.
