Exporting a local pack

After you completed collecting record versions, you need to export the changes for further import to other instances. For this, please complete the steps below:

  1. Navigate to Configuration → Local Packs.
  2. Find the local pack to export. You can use list search boxes or the Condition Builder.
  3. Open the desired local pack.

  4. Change the state value to Completed.

    The local pack in the Admin Preferences menu will change to the default pack.

  5. Export the local pack as a .SOP file:
    • at the top of the form, click Export Local Pack.
      OR
    • in the hamburger menu , select Export → As a New Application. 

Use this option cautiously. In case the local pack contains updated vendor records, it may cause collisions while updating the system.

We recommend using the Export Local Pack option.


The downloaded .SOP file will be named automatically as this: Local Pack name_2021-12-31 18:00:00

  • Datetime format is YYYY-MM-DD.
  • The timestamp indicates the datetime when the local pack was transferred to the Complete state.
  • The time is displayed according to the locale of the user who exported the file. That is, if the local pack was transferred to the Complete state at 12:00:00 UTC, then for a user from UTC+3 the file will have the 15:00:00 timestamp.

  • If the local pack name contains the symbols listed below, they will be replaced by the underscore symbol ( _ ):

    \, /, :, *, ?, ", <, >, |

Export → As a New Application

Protection PolicyDoes not change.

The policy will be changed to Protected or Open depending on the protected.essences property:

  • if the table defined in the Table Name field is included in the property, the policy will change from Changed to Protected
  • if such a table is not included in the property, the policy will change from Changed to Open
DescriptionUse this export for minor record version changes.

Use this export for a local pack containing a huge number of record versions.

Do not use the option Export → As a New Application for local packs containing vendor records. It may cause collisions while updating the system. Instead, use the Export Local Pack option.

It is a good practice to download your local pack straight away after the job is done; otherwise, the versions stored in it may go out of date.
