I have started converting pages from classic to Kinetic. How do I move changes that I have made to say the JobEntry Layers from one environment to another?
Can you do that with solution workbench? If so, how do you do that for only one page?
Yes, Solution Workbench… create a new solution… Give it a name and description so you can save it.
Click “Add to Solution”
Choose: KNTCCustLayer
Search… choose the layers you want to add to the solution.
(if you sort by Key2… it will group them by “application”)
Then click “Add to Solution”
Once you have everything you want to include… Actions > Build Solution
Make sure you click this checkbox:
This allows you to choose where you’re saving the file.
Then open up Solution Workbench in your LIVE environment.
You can then click Actions > Install Solution
Search for the file you just created and click Install.
You may still need to go to Menu Maintenance and activate those newly imported layers on the Job Entry menu.

Thank you!
Could we bulk activate thos newly migrated files? if it could, how to execute it?
What do you mean by bulk activate? You can select multiple files in your solution workbench and build/install it.
To activate the custom pages you have to activate those one at a time in through the menu.

I wonder if adding the affected menu entries to your solution would also migrate over the layer(s) added to the menu entries.
Not from what I’ve seen. But if it does it would be awesome.
If you use a solution to install a new version of a layer that has the same name as an existing layer, users will often continue to see the old version. To get it to notice the new version of the layer, I launch the screen, go to its three-dot menu and open Application Studio, click “preview” once and then close the window.
