Using the Packaging wizard gadget

The Application Package Wizard helps you package in a Product rule the classes, rules, and data that make up an application. A Product rule is an instance ofRule-Application-Product (RAP).

The wizard lets you review data instances associated with the application, and to manually remove any that you do not want to include in the RAP. When the RAP is complete, you can export it as a zip file or use the RAP to migrate the product to another system.

The wizard generates a Product rule with the same name as the application it contains. You can reuse the Product rule for future exports or migrations of the application.

Using the Import Rules/Data gadget

Use this gadget to import rules and data instances from ZIP file into a destination Process Commander system.

If you import rules in a RuleSet version that some users already can access, they may begin executing them immediately, possibly before other rules in the same ZIP archive are present. This may be desirable and intended, or not intended. Similarly, declarative rules begin executing for such users immediately; declarative rules may fail if not all the elements or properties they reference are uploaded yet. CLINIC 3/05 also B-12115.

By default, you can't upload a ZIP file larger than 25MB to the server from your desktop with the Import Archive tool. This is a limitation on the upload operation, not on the import itself. Use FTP or another means to place the ZIP archive into the ServiceExport directory on the server, or change the limit through a prconfig.xml file setting. See Limits and maximums.

The property @baseclass.pxMoveImportDateTime records the date and time that a rule (or other instance) was imported from a ZIP archive. CLINIC 9/27/07 You can report on this property (for one rule type such as properties or flows) on when the rules moved into a system.

Using the Export Rules/Data gadget

For step- by-step instructions, see Export gadget. For background and information about special cases, see More about the Import and Export gadgets.

Don't create a ZIP archive when any of the rules designated for the archive are checked out. An error is reported identifying the checked-out rule or rules. Neither the original version nor the checked-out version of the rule is included in the ZIP archive. C-1118
