Kinetic Dashboard generated from classic works in one Environment but not another

[JasonMcD (Jason McDermott)]

I haven’t made a classic dashboard in a couple years, so I am rusty on this. But what exactly is your export process?

I found this from back in the day:

Convert classic dashboard to Kinetic

Also, and I’ll admit that I have only started to research this, but what is the method for exporting a Kinetic dashboard? So my plan (I guess) is: Create a Kinetic dashboard in development (at 2022.2) Customize a layer, if needed Export… stuff Upgrade Production to 2022.2 Import said stuff into production How do you do step 3? I get that the customizing part is the KNTCCustLayer in Solution Workbench. But what is the dashboard itself? What is that file type?

But I feel like that is not needed anymore.

Let me back up a bit.

If you make an “Application” in dev (from scratch; not from a classic dashboard), you can (depending on version) export the base app and export one or more layers (plus any needed BAQs/EFx of course) and import all of that into production without ever touching a classic dashboard interface.

OTOH, if the “Application” is a converted classic dashboard, well frankly I don’t know how those import over, whether you need to do additional steps.

But I assume not; once it is an Application, you should be good to export it as such with no trace that it was ever a classic dashboard.

I hope.
