Hi all,

Is there a way to move the changes from one application scope to another one ?

Any pointers will be helpful.

Hi there,

Is this what you are after?

On a list, select which file you are after (business rule, script include, etc), on the bottom select "Actions on selected rows...", and choose "Move to Application...".

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your response.

I tried that but that option is somehow not enabled, I can not click on that option ? Any idea why is it so ?

Hi Sandhya,

No direct way for moving to another application.

There are many things to be taken into account so better capture the tables, fields the scripts one by one in the custom scope application update set

you will need to recreate your application and move the logic over manually.

In think one reason may be existing limitations if dependencies between different objects.

Take care of the following, when moving objects manually (which is the only option):

- review each script that you have, and make sure, that the API functions are available in Scoped API

- make sure, to rename the references to your tables and field, which start with "u_" in Global, but with "x_" in Scoped Apps

- make sure, that your scoped app will allow and get the needed access from and to the Global scope and other app scopes involved.

- as you need to recreate your tables, make sure to migrate / copy existing data to new fields

- delete the old objects and tables from global scope, to make sure they do not interfere and mix up with the scoped ones during testing...

- do a lot of testing, before going to production 

This list may be not complete, but surely important to consider.

Please mark my answer as Correct & Helpful, if applicable.

Thanks
