There are various reasons why you would need to export and import a Kiuwan Model. For example, you may have two different Kiuwan accounts and need the same model in both, or you may have migrated to Kiuwan On-Premises from a Saas account. 

Exporting your model

  1. Go to Model Management from the drop-down menu on the upper right corner. 
  2. Select the model you want to export on the left (in this example: My Model).

    Currently, there's not an option to upload more than one file at a time. Therefore, the next steps must be repeated for every technology.

    Be sure to select the en directory when uploading the files.
