Export a package

You can export a package for reuse. A package is exported as a .ZIP file. The exported package includes all the items associated with the package along with the sub package. Only resources that have at least read permissions can export a package.

Use any of the following methods to export a package:

  • Once you complete creating a package, click Save & Export on the Action bar. The package is exported without any further user interaction to export. See Create a package.

  • From the Packages Explorer. See Work with packages.

  • Using the Export Package option. See the instructions below.

  1. On the Home page, click Packages > Export Package.
    The Package page appears.
  2. In the Consume panel, click Packages.

    A list of all packages appears.

  3. Consume the package to export. Alternatively, you can export the package from the Explorer. See Work with packages.
  4. Click OK.

    A message prompts you to confirm saving the ZIP file.

  5. Click OK.
    The Save As window appears.
  6. Select the target location for the exported package.
  7. Click Save.
    A message confirms that the package was exported. If any error occurs during export, Error.txt is generated with error details. In some scenarios warning message is displayed and the export is stopped.

    Note the following:

    • Only associations of process and forms are automatically included in the package when any of the process or form is dragged into the package.

    • Skins are not included as part of associations; you need to include them as part of process export options.

    • All images included in the package are exported in the Images folder.

    • Any document templates, custom pages, .NET Dlls and style sheet are exported in the Assets folder.

    • Thread pools, server variables, server xml expression variables are automatically exported.
