Exporting a data service

You can export a data service in the form of a specially formatted file. You can then copy this file to another system or import it into another App Builder project.

Note: You can also export a data service from the App Builder Repository to a file. The procedure is similar but not exactly the same. See Exporting a data service to a file (from the Repository).

To export a data service from your App Builder project to a file, use this procedure:

  1. On the Properties panel, click Manage Data Services.
  2. In the Project Data Services dialog box, select the data service you want to export.
  3. On the toolbar, click Export.
  4. In the Export Data Services dialog box, provide the Name of the exported file.
    If you do not provide a name, App Builder uses the current date as the filename.
  5. Click Export.
App Builder saves the data service file with an *.iads extension to your Downloads folder.
