About Export/Import

WorkZone Export/ImportWorkZone Export/Import is a tool that you can use to move a WorkZone configuration from one WorkZone instance to another. There are several different scenarios where it is useful to set up a configuration in one WorkZone instance, and then reuse the same configuration in another WorkZone instance.

WorkZone Export/Import is a command line tool that can export a configuration from WorkZone to a JSON file. The configuration stored in the JSON file can then be imported to another instance of WorkZone.

For a list of currently supported configurations for export and import, see the list of Supported configurations. Additional configurations will be added in subsequent releases with the long-term goal of supporting all configurations.

Total and partial exports

By default, all supported configurations are included when exporting and importing configuration data but you can choose to export specific configurations by using the partial export parameters.

There are no partial import parameters, which means that when importing, all the exported configuration data is imported into the target WorkZone installation.

Usage examples

Deploy verticals

In KMD, we use the Export/Import tool for deployment purposes. For example, WorkZone can be configured for specific vertical markets, for example, a Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) vertical. If we need to set up a WorkZone environment for a new CLM customer, we use this tool to apply a CLM configuration.

Move configurations between environments

You can also use the Export/Import tool in existing running WorkZone systems. For example, if you have different WorkZone instances that you use for staging and production respectively, you can use the tool to move the configuration from the staging environment to the production environment.
