Best practice: Copy Live Application to new one

Have created a live application with additional Java modules and several configurations options.

Now I want copy this application to a new one with different name and a few modifications.

Is there a way to do this without starting and clicking all options via webinterface?

Checking for you…

You have two options @DFN VC:

The application config should just be in the conf/{appName}/Application.xml. Copy this (and any other custom files in the same directory) to conf/{newAppName}/

You’ll also need to create a folder under applications/ with the same name as the newAppName.

The easiest way is by clicking on the Copy button in the Manager UI. If you navigate to the application page in Manager, there is a “copy” button on the upper right.

Either of those two methods should work. I hope this helps you.
