Edit app details
If you have LiveCompare Editor permissions, app details may be edited in the studio interface using the App Details screen. To display the screen, select the App Store folder in the LiveCompare hierarchy, and select a link in the App Store screen’s Name column. The App Details screen has the following sections:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the app. |
| Description | The description for the app. |
| Teams | The DevOps teams to which the app has been assigned. |
| Parameters | A table listing the app’s input and output parameters. |
Edit an app’s name, description or teams
To edit an app’s name, description or teams, follow these steps from the App Details screen.
- To modify the app’s name or description, enter new values in the Name or Description fields.
- To modify an app’s DevOps teams, select new values from the Teams field. If required, click X to remove a team from your selections.
- Click Save to save any modified app details.
Copy an app’s workflows to a workspace
To copy an app’s workflows to a workspace, follow these steps from the App Details screen.
- Click Copy to Workspace. The Copy to Workspace screen lists the available target workspaces. If LiveCompare is Resource Group-controlled, only workspaces in the current Resource Group are listed.
- Select a target workspace that doesn't already contain the app’s workflow, and click Copy.
If the app’s workflow calls any workflows using the Run Workflow action, the called workflows are also copied to the workspace.
Replace an app’s workflow
To replace an app’s top-level workflow, follow these steps from the App Details screen.
- Click Replace Workflow to run the Register Workflow as App Wizard.
- Select the workspace that contains the target workspace, then complete the Wizard to specify the app’s input parameters, output parameter, name, description and DevOps teams. If the app’s input and output parameters have changed and the app has any existing variants, these variants may need to be recreated.
Export an app
If you have LiveCompare Editor or Administrator permissions, you can export an app to a ZIP file by carrying out the following steps from the App Details screen.
- Click Export App. The app definition is exported to a file named as follows on the LiveCompare server. If the file already exists, it will be overwritten.
<LiveCompare user data dir>\public\Transfer\<app name>.zip
- In the screen that follows, click the Download the file link to download the ZIP file to your local machine.
The ZIP file includes an app’s workflows and an XML file containing the app’s definition. An app may be imported from a ZIP file by selecting the App Store folder in the LiveCompare hierarchy and choosing Import App from its context menu.
