copying/duplicating solutions

Classic Servoy

Hi all

I have completed my vertical market solution, and now want to use this existing solution as the basis for a new solution (i don’t like reinventing the wheel).

What are the steps to duplicating a solution (with a new name) with all forms, tables, methods?

Export it, “import as” and you’re done :-)
If you want to use a different db, just disable the db connection used by the old solution, before reimporting it: when asked, choose the new db connection and Servoy will re-create the tables for you.

Hi Ric

Brilliant!

Thanks a lot, works fine.

IMPORT AS

This doesn’t seem to exist anymore.

Anyone clue me in?

EDIT: Clean import does a nice job of it - i thought this was for a different purpose.

Another question then:

If you still have the old DB specified, will it prompt to select a new connection? or only if you’ve disabled/renamed the old DB bfeore attempting the import?
