Configuration Export is the way that applications and miscellaneous configuration components are exported from PhixFlow. You may want to export your configuration for a number of reasons - e.g. to back up an application, or set of configuration components, you are working on; or so that you can import it somewhere else.

Excerpt

Passwords

Passwords Saved in PhixFlow

Exported files do not include any passwords from the PhixFlow system, such as passwords for:

  • user accounts
  • accessing external data, for example via HTTP or FTP collectors.
Note

If you are planning to import an exported configuration to another PhixFlow instance, you may need to update the passwords in that instance.

Providing a Password to Encrypt the Exported File

By default, when you download an exported file, it is encrypted. You must provide a password that you can then use when you import the file into another instance. 

Using the Export Pane to Copy

In addition to being able to export items ready for import to another instance, you can also copy items into the same instance using the copy option.

When making a copy, PhixFlow considers whether items would be expected to have multiple associations. For example, a copy of a layout component will include its shared style. This is because a shared style is expected to occur in many layout components. However, a copy of a task plan that contains an analysis task will not contain any streams. This is because a stream is expected to be run by only one analysis task.
