Moving application files from Global to scoped application

[Priya Shekar]

Hi All,

We are in the move to publish our application in the App store.

But the application was created in Eureka version.

Currently we have moved the app from Eureka to Fuji but couldn't update the "Scope" field.

If the solution is to create a new Scoped application in Fuji and move the files into it.

how can we move the files from Global app to scoped app?

Thanks,

Priya

Hi,

Please refer the below thread for more info.

Pre Fuji App Conversion Utility

FYI - the conversation that Pradeep mentioned earlier is no longer active. To convert your solution from a global scoped application to a unique scope, you will need to recreate your application and move the logic over manually:

• System Applications > Applications > Create New
• From there, recreate your table names, scripts, etc. and copy/paste the logic from your existing app/update set over to the new record
  

The conversion utility had some use cases that it did not support and this was generating more confusion than value. There are some design time prompts and errors that will be beneficial to see and understand when creating a scoped (not global) application. Understanding application access, API support, etc. is much more difficult if you don't go through the motions from the beginning when creating a scoped application.

Hi David,

Our Application is already present as a plugin, and we have made changes to it as well. If we are trying to move from one instance to another, we will be first activating the plugin and then move our custom changes thro update sets.

If we have to recreate applications, tables and scripts from scratch for scoped application, it will be a total rework for us.

Just to move the developed application to App store, should we do all the development work again?

Hi Priyadarshini,

Can you email me at david.gatley@servicenow.com to take this thread offline.

In short, to distribute anything on the store, you need to create an application. We do not support update sets on the store (with a few exceptions for our early Certified Integration Program partners).

I will jump into the details with you via email.

Thank you,
