Import an Application | Operations Hub 2022 Documentation

When you import an application, a copy of the application and its components (that is, plug-ins, pages, entities, queries, events, themes, and settings) is created. If an application or a component with the same name exists in the current site, then a system-generated number is appended to the name of the imported application or component. However, if a plug-in with the same name exists, the plug-in is not imported. Instead, the plug-in that already exists in the site is used in the application.

Export the application that you want to import. Default applications are excluded from the import operation.

In the main navigation menu, select APPS.
The APPS workspace appears.
Select Import App.
A message appears, indicating that if there is already an application or a component with the same name, the imported application or component will contain a new name.
Proceed to import the application.
Navigate to the application (stored as a .zip file) that you want to import, then select Open.

Important: To avoid system related errors, do not modify original exported zip files and repackage them for import.

If the application being imported already exists in Operations Hub with the same name, select one of the following:

Option	Description
Duplicate	Creates a duplicate copy of the application and imports to Operations Hub.
Replace	Deletes the existing application in Operations Hub and replaces with the one from the import file.

If duplicate data source records are found, you may be asked to confirm before importing the file to Operations Hub. Refer to Handling Duplicate OPC UA Data Sources.

If the system detects that the imported application has widgets/plug-ins eligible for upgrades, then they are automatically updated to their latest versions. See Configure Plug-in Upgrades.

A copy of the selected application is created. The Pages workspace appears, displaying a list of pages copied from the original application.
