Scoped Application Movement from one instance to another

pankajsharma · ‎02-28-2019

I am trying to move a scope application from one instance to another . So I had published my Application in my dev instance and tried to install the same from different instance but there are few tables which didnt get migrated. Also our Dev was cloned at the same time . So I installed the application in my Dev instance using Application studio and everything was fine.

But now the application doesnt show in my "Develop " tab and I am not able to change any configuration on my application. Can anyone suggest what should be the right approach to move application from one instance to another?

Hi Pankaj,

If you need to publish an app from development instance to another instance, you should do it via "Publish an application to the application repository". In this case, the app will be in Download mode and not Develop. However, in another case where you want an app to be in "Develop" mode (**assuming you want to continue development on other instance for some reason), you need to take an export of your app as update set and import it in the target instance.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Pradeep,

Hmmm... strange thing. I could not reproduce the issue when I tried again. So, now the import of the scoped application to another instance worked OK without any errors.

But, one question remains...

I hope this image explains what I'm trying to do and you can reply whether this is possible or not and how to accomplish the setup.

I just found out, that I could create one app dependency record on ven00003 to any "OOB application" and then use that record to insert a new one with dependency to "APP". Will that work, since the "APP" is not available as a selection when trying to add dependency via Edit button on Dependencies related list on the "APP add-on" Application record.

Asking this, since this is still the setup I'd like keep instead of importing the "APP add-on" to ven00001 in dev mode.
