Copying an App
You can copy a pushed or unpushed TIBCO Cloud™ Integration - Develop app or a pushed TIBCO Cloud™ Integration - Integrate app to another new app in the same organization or another organization, for testing, staging, production or any other purpose. The copied app is a separate app and independent from the original app. It has a different endpoint and works independently.
To copy an app:
- Log in to TIBCO Cloud™ Integration.
- Click the Apps tab.
- Hover over the pushed app you want to copy, and click the shortcut menu (
).
- Click Copy.
- In the Copy application dialog, select an organization where the app will be copied. Only organizations where you are a member are shown. You can also enter a new name for the copied app.
- If you are copying a Flogo app that has connections, see below for details.
- Click Copy Application to copy the app, or click Cancel to revert changes.
After an app is copied, the new app is owned by the user who did the copy, regardless of who owned the original app. The app is in the "Stopped" state, and you must scale up instances to make it run.
Copied apps are created with a temporary name based on their app type and the number of existing apps of that app type already created, such as New_Flogo_App_0
, New_Flogo_App_1
, and so on. To rename an app, see Renaming an App.
If there was any password type property configured in the original app, you must update the password property in the copy before the app is scaled up.
Copying Flogo Apps with Connections
If you are copying a Flogo app and the app contains connections, you can pick existing organization-level or user-level connections or create new connections for the the copy of the app to use.
When you copy an app with a connection, a list of the connections in theapp is shown in the Copy application dialog:
By default, the app's existing connection is selected. This connection is attached to the app copy. To select a different connection, click the list to the right of the connection:
For each connection listed, you can select another existing connection from the list. These are either from your organization level or user level.
You can also click Create new connection. This will create a new connection. If a connection with the same name already exists, the new connection is created with _1
appended to the name.
VPN Connections and TIBCO Cloud™ - Proxy Agent Configurations
The following apply when copying an app:
- TIBCO Cloud - Proxy Agent configurations are copied if the app is copied to the same organization since the TIBCO Cloud - Proxy Agent is organization-specific. If the app is copied to another organization, the TIBCO Cloud - Proxy Agent is not copied.
- VPN connections are user-specific. They are copied to the new app if the app is copied to the same organization and the new app is still owned by the user. Otherwise the VPN connection is not copied.
Role Requirements
- Admins can copy any app in their organization.
- Users can copy any app in their organization.
- Read-only users cannot copy any app.
