Migrate Your Live Application

Before replacing your old live app with the new version published from VB Studio, you'll need to import the data from the old live app. This involves locking the old live app, exporting the data from the live app and then importing it into your new app. You can import the live data as a step in your build pipeline or by importing the data directly into your production environment. You then launch the pipeline to package and deploy the app to the production environment.

The final step is to retire your old app and direct users to the new one. For users who access a web application, you’ll need to communicate the new URL that replaces the URL they used previously to access their web applications. For mobile applications, you’ll need to rebuild and republish your mobile apps to the app store(s) where you initially published it or use whatever mechanism you used previously to distribute the mobile app so users can update the mobile app on their device.
