A very common problem is when an app is developed on one environment, and then migrated to a different environment is that the APP ID cannot be maintained between different environments and there is no way to change the app id once it is created. If a mashup has been developed, the mashup code will have to be edited to change the app id.
I propose that a new option be added in the Console/QMC.
It would be an additional way to import an app.
It could be built into the same pop up wizard for import, or it can be an additional button near the import button, labeled: Migrate.
The migrate feature would allow the user to select the file, but have a new feature to enter in/paste in the desired app id from the other environment, and have a button to allow the system to validate it is unique and meets what ever requirements there are for app ids. Then when the user imports this app, the import will import the new app, and set the app id to be the one the user entered. This should of course also be available from the APIs as well.
This will be a great improvement for this process.
We have a QAP Qlik Analytics Platform environment where no development work is done as there is no hub access, and apps/mashups are imported from another system where they were developed. We have had to manually change app ids for years because of this lack of functionality around not being able to keep the same app id when importing from another environment.
Please consider this improved feature / functionality
