Hi Kalluri,

Short answer - you don't. You need to recreate the files (records) again in the global scope.

Hi Kalluri,

You cannot simply export a business rule, for example because the XML contains application's scope, the scoped table, and everything else in it.

If you are VERY good at XML, you can export the data, update the table names, the scope names, sys_ids, etc. and import it back in. It's a bit of a chore and prone to issues so I don't recommend it often.

The easier approach is to recreate the tables, fields, ACLs, etc. and then salvage what ever script you have done, updating that accordingly (e.g. table names, field names, etc.)

Can I ask why you are going from scoped to global?

we started using scoped apps but I want to edit access controls on a table in the global application.   How do I switch back to the global application because these changes are not related to the new scoped apps.
