if you copy an analysis model it will only copy the model and not the modelling objects held within it. |
Export
Objects are exported from one instance of PhixFlow to another via export, such as promoting changes from a development instance to a live instance. See Export Configuration for full details.
When an object is imported which is already in the target instance, the import process will overwrite the objects already in the target instance. If an entire application is imported that already exists in the target instance, anything which does not exist in the imported application will be permanently deletedMoving Models Between Instances
You may have several instances of PhixFlow running, for example one for developing models and applications and one for running them. To move objects between different instances, export them from one instance (the source instance) and import them to another (the target instance); see Export Configuration and Import Configuration.
If the target instance has an object:
- that matches one in the import, PhixFlow overwrites it with the imported object
- that does not match one in the import, PhixFlow permanently deletes the object from the target instance.
