Backing up Customized Example Applications in Application Development

As part of the upgrade process, the example applications and bundled applications included in Application Development are overwritten with new versions. If you have made any changes to these applications, you need to make a backup of them so that you can re-implement those changes in the upgraded versions.

For example, to use the Case Management application (or Mobile Case Manager application), you must modify the application's caseMgtAppName.config.json file to include the details of a case model that is available on the ActiveMatrix BPM system. That file will be overwritten as part of the upgrade, so if you have modified it and want to retain the changes on the upgraded system, you should take a backup.

Note: You do not need to do this for any clones you have made of the example applications and bundled applications.

Procedure

  • Back up any files that you have changed in:
    • the example applications - Workapp, Case Management, Mobile Case Manager, Component Showcase.
    • the bundled applications - Open Work Item, Start Biz Action.
