Export Application

Unable to copy component files to the application definition file directory. An error occurred writing to the directory or existing files could not be overwritten. The application was not exported.



CAUSE
This error message can appear if the folder of the user who is doing the client export does not have WRITE/MODIFY permissions.



RESOLUTION
Make sure that the user who is doing the export has the appropriate rights on the folder.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Create a test folder.
 * 2) Remove WRITE/MODIFY permissions for that folder.
 * 3) Attempt to export the application into that folder.
