Import Existing MashZone Feeds
If you have data feeds defined in an existing MashZone Server, you can import them into MashZone NextGen to use them in apps or workspace apps.
1. Export the MashZone data feeds that you want from your existing MashZone Server and omit permissions. See MashZone help for instructions on completing this step.
Important: | Do not export MashZone feeds that use connections to Terracotta BigMemory caches as a data source. These connections are not supported by the Integrated MashZone Server for MashZone NextGen. Instead, connect to BigMemory caches using MashZone NextGen Analytics. |
This creates an MZP export file (*.mzp) in the default export/import folder for your existing MashZone Server.
2. Copy the MZP export file you created in the previous step to the MashZoneNG-install/mashzone/data/importexport folder.
3. Click 
Admin Console in the MashZone NextGen Hub main menu. 4. Click MashZone to expand this section of the Administration menu.
5. Click Import/Export.
6. To import all MashZone feeds defined in any MZP export files in the MashZoneNG-install/mashzone/data/importexport folder, click Import All and confirm this choice.
a. A validation status message is displayed. Click OK.
The import begins. You become the owner for all the MashZone feed(s) that are imported.
b. An import status message is displayed. Click OK.
7. To import specific MashZone feeds from the MZP export files in the MashZoneNG-install/mashzone/data/importexport folder, click Import and:
a. If needed, change the File Format to see a list of specific export files.
b. Select the MZP export file containing the MashZone feeds you want to import.
c. Click OK.
d. A validation status message is displayed. Click OK.
The import begins. You become the owner for these MashZone feed(s).
e. An import status message is displayed. Click OK.
You can now find the
MashZone feeds in
MashZone NextGen search results, open them, add views, create apps or add them to workspace apps. To allow other
MashZone NextGen users to work with these feeds, you must also grant them permission to run these feeds.
See Grant Permission to Run Mashables, Mashups and Apps for instructions.
