Exporting Applications

Sometimes it is necessary to archive an application for backup purposes or to transfer the application to another grid that is not accessible.

Export an Application

To export an application , pick an export directory name where the exported application is to be stored. The export directory is accessible through ssh and sftp under the following URL: controllerhost:/vol/_impex/.

If the application is running, stop the application app stop myapp

Export the application app export myapp. See app export command for details.

• Transfer the application to backup storage using sftp or scp - See Accessing the Grid for details.
  For example, to copy the application using secure copy, execute the following command:

  scp -r controllerhost:/vol/_impex/myapp . 
  

  where controllerhost is the domain name of the controller.
