How export module in its current state?

Bryan Hunt over 1 year ago

We have a custom module that we want to export to a new environment.

The module was originally imported to module builder, modified, then deployed.

Since then additional customizations have been done in studio.

The original imported module no longer exists.

How do I take the module in its current state and export it (all metadata, not just recent customizations)?

Thanks.

From within Studio; you can export the customizations. You will be prompted to select a module.

That only is half of the equation. You also need the files that are situated in the root/modules/<modulename> .If you have access to the filesystem you can easily do so. If on the cloud you should create a support case to ask if they can create a backup of the instance (if not yet available) and extract the files from the tar file.

Jeroen,

It is cloud based. I will create the support case. Will that give me the *entire* sugar instance? Or can I request just certain modules?

Thanks.

I now have the backup in hand. From that, can I selectively restore the two modules that I wanted to transfer without restoring everything (including not restoring data)?
