Export, import, or duplicate a runtime

A runtime carries a lot of configuration: connectors, mappings, variable bindings, and runtime-specific settings. Instead of recreating it by hand on a new project or machine, you can export the runtime as a file and import it elsewhere, or duplicate it inside the same project. All three operations include every connection and its mappings defined in the selected runtime.

Export a runtime

1. In the Portal, open Runtimes and select the runtime you want to export.
2. Open the runtime action menu and choose Export.
3. Save the generated file. It contains the runtime plus all its connections and mappings.

Import a runtime

1. Open Runtimes in the target project.
2. Choose Import and select the file you exported earlier.
3. Review the summary (connections, mappings, naming conflicts) and confirm.
4. The imported runtime appears in the list.

Duplicate a runtime

1. Select the runtime in the list.
2. From the action menu, choose Duplicate.
3. Enter a name for the copy and confirm.
4. The duplicate keeps all connections and mappings.

Note

Every export includes the full set of connection definitions and variable mappings, so you do not need to export the connections separately.

Caution

Importing or duplicating a runtime does not transfer secrets such as fieldbus passwords or REST authentication tokens. Re-enter those on the target environment.
