Introduction

Importing and exporting configurations allows you to perform a number of actions with the configurations you have already set up or would like to start working on in Alumio. The simple workflow makes it possible to export almost everything within our application: Routes, Incoming and Outgoing configurations, Entity Transformers, HTTP Proxies, Webhooks, all existing Clients, Storages, Filesystems, Entity Schemas, Schedulers and so on.

As you can see, using the such feature as exporting and importing configurations you can make many different actions for the same configuration. Let’s see how it works.

How to export configurations in Alumio

Follow these steps to export configurations for your Alumio environment.

  1. Navigate to the Overview page of the functionality you need to make an export. For example, let’s navigate to the Routes overview page.
  2. Click on the “Actions” bar toward the Route you want to export.
  3. Select the “Export” option and click.
  4. The configuration will be automatically exported to you.

However, you are able to export multiple quantities of Routes by selecting the corresponding checkboxes. Once you select all the needed ones, the “Export” button will expand at the top of the page. Once you click on the button, as many Routes as selected will be exported immediately.

It’s also possible to export configurations without tests: once you click on the “Export” button if that configuration has the number of related configurations, they will be displayed in parent-children relations with tests included automatically. To exclude tests, select the “Exclude all optional” option in the expanded popup.
