To go to the Meta Management Portal, click ``Project Metadata`` under ``Settings`` on the leftmost menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Project Metadata
|
|
|
|
The metadata is stored in meta directory in project level, database level, and API level.
|
|
|
|
Under ``Project Metadata``, you can perform the following operations.
|
|
|
|
- Export all metadata from the meta tables to meta directory
|
|
|
|
- Import all metadata from the meta directory to meta tables
|
|
|
|
- Export project meta to zip file and download
|
|
|
|
- Import project meta zip file and restart
|
|
|
|
- Clear all metadata from meta tables
|
|
|
|
<alert>
|
|
Import won't work with zip files exported from the older version of apps (< 0.11.6). <br>
|
|
Import / Export will only transfer metadata and files related to the project and not any table data in the project.
|
|
</alert>
|
|
|
|
## Migration example
|
|
### Export metadata
|
|
Source project : Under ``Meta Management`` tab, select ``Export zip``, click ``Submit``. This step extracts project metadata and stores it in compressed (zip) format
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Import metadata
|
|
Destination project : Under ``Meta Management`` tab, select ``Import zip``, select ``meta.zip`` file stored in previous step. This step imports project metadata from compressed file (zip) selected and restarts project.
