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?

**You have two options @DFN VC:**

1. 

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.

1. 

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.
