Import Groups

   Journey Manager (JM) The transaction engine for the platform.  |    System Manager / DevOps  |  All versions This feature is related to all versions.

Manager allows you to import a group as a ZIP file. You can use the import functionality to:

  • Roll-back one or several groups
  • Re-create one or several groups in another Manager
  • Promote one or several groups to other environments

Manager runs a virus scanning service before an import file is processed, so the antivirus service must be properly configured and enabled. If a virus is detected, the import operation fails and a corresponding record is added to the Error Log.  |  23.04 This feature was introduced in 23.04
