Import/Export of new Services/Properties of a Thing without overwriting property values

[PG_9957352]

Hello,

Thingworx version 9.3.

our customer has two Thingworx environments, Test and Production, respectively.

Application development and tests  are performed in Test environment,

Final deployment in Production environment is done by importing the project from the Test environment.

Since data and property values differ between the two, the import is done without overwriting property values (i.e., the "Overwrite property values" option is deselected in the Import panel).

Now, let's suppose we change an existing Thing in Test enviroment by adding some new Services and Properties.

We need to import such changes in Production, without overwriting property values.

However, after the import process, the new Properties and Services of the Thing are not present in Production. They are correctly exported in the generated xml..

Can anybody confirm this behavior?

How to import new added Services/Properties of a Thing without overwriting Property values?

Best,

Pietro

Hi @PG_9957352 

Normally, the new Properties (definition) and Services should appear after a successful import even with overwrite property values unchecked, since the option only decides whether the value should be overwritten or not.

Was the import successful? Any errors in ApplicationLogs?
