Overview
PhixFlow provides the option for copying models and modelling objects creating copies of objects or application in your current PhixFlow instance. Objects These items can be moved to a separate instance of PhixFlow via the Export facility.
Copy
Copying models and modelling objects within a single instance of PhixFlow:
Option 1 Copy a single object in a model

Option 2 Copy multiple objects in a model
- Open any model and select the objects to copy.

Moving Configuration Between Instances
You may have several instances of PhixFlow running, for example one for developing models and applications and one for running themproduction. 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.
Moving Configuration Behaviour
- If the target instance has an object
:- that matches one in the import, PhixFlow overwrites it with the imported objectthat does not match one in the import.
- If an object has been explicitly deleted from the source instance, when the configuration is imported into the target instance, PhixFlow permanently deletes the object from the target instance also.
- If an object has been added to the source instance it will be added to the target system.
- For this reason when performing an export it is only necessary to take the items that have changed,
