Available with Defense Mapping license.
Configured Map Production System (MPS) app settings can be reused by exporting a .json file that can be imported into other MPS apps.
Caution:
An error will occur and the configured settings will not take effect after the .json file is imported if the following requirements are not met:
- The .json file contents must adhere to the schema of the MPS app importing the JSON.
- The service path or URL in the .json file must match the service that the app is using. If the MPS web app that imports the .json file is using a different service than the app that was used to export the .json file, the service path or URL must be updated in the .json file before the file is imported. This can be the case when a second app is deployed to a different server.
