Copy scoped application

[Girisankar Gopi]

Hi,

      I'm relatively new to SNOW. I have a scoped application in my instance and i need to create a copy of the scoped application in the same instance. Can anyone guide me with the steps?.

Hi @Girisankar Gopi 

Hi,

If both the instances belong to same company i.e. having same vendor prefix code i.e same company then you can do this

you can migrate the scope application from instance A to instance B via update set:

there are many ways to do this but the recommended way is to publish the application to update set and then import that update set to instance B

publish to update set, export the XML then imported the XML into the target instance.

If both the instances are having separate vendor prefix code then publish to app repository and then download the application on instance B from app repository.

@AnubhavRitolia  Thank you for the response. Here in my case the scoped application has to be copied into the same instance with a different namespace.

Hi @Girisankar Gopi 

 ServiceNow scoped application can be exported as an XML file. That means if we manipulate XML data in the right way we can make a clone of the application and import it into the same instance where the original one came from. The application clone will become a completely separate scoped application with its own scope! 

This also may have some impacts. Please find details in below link:
