Exporting a Launch Configuration

There may be occasions when you want to use the same test data configurations for testing multiple flows. You have the option to create a Launch Configuration that contains this data in one flow, export the Launch Configuration, then import it into each of the other flows. The ability to export a Launch Configuration is particularly useful when the data set is very complex. In such a scenario, you can export a Launch Configuration, import it into another flow and test the flow with the imported Launch Configuration. Reusing a Launch Configuration by exporting and importing it saves you the time and effort needed to create a separate Launch Configuration for each flow.

1. In the Flow Tester, hover your mouse cursor to the extreme right of the Launch Configuration name that you want to export.
2. Click the Export Launch Configuration () icon.
   A file with the name <flow-name>_<Launch Configuration-name>.json gets downloaded to your Downloads directory. You can import this file into another flow and use the Launch Configuration that you just exported. Refer to Importing a Launch Configuration for details on how to import a Launch Configuration.

   Note: The Launch Configuration name is not preserved, so the imported Launch Configuration is given a default name of "Launch Configuration x" where x stands for the next number in the series of existing Launch Configurations. For example, if you have two existing Launch Configurations in the flow, the imported Launch Configuration is named Launch Configuration 3. You have the option to edit the name to make it more meaningful.
