Do you manage multiple applications in AlwaysUp<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Across multiple machines? <\/p>\n

If so, AlwaysUp’s new “bulk import” feature might make your life a bit easier. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Instead of adding applications one-by-one (as described in the “How to move your applications”<\/a> article), you’re now able to import up to 50 applications\/services together<\/b>. This has the potential to save you a ton of time when you have lots of services to move.<\/p>\n

Let’s run through the new import process, to give you a feel for how it works.<\/p>\n

How to import applications & create new Windows Services<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    First, choose “Import” from the “Application” menu:<\/p>\n

  2. \n

    \nIn the file selector that comes up, choose the XML files you wish to import. You can select up to 50.\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \nAlwaysUp reviews your request for a few seconds:<\/p>\n
  4. \nNext, AlwaysUp examines each file, checking for common errors. Here you can see the Dropbox service<\/a> being validated:<\/p>\n
  5. \nDepending on the results of validation, you may encounter one or more of the following “problem” screens.<\/p>\n

    For example, if an XML file is unreadable, corrupt or does not contain valid XML, you may see this error:<\/p>\n

    \"Import<\/a><\/div>\n

    Your only option will be to skip the file.<\/p>\n

    If the Windows account that should run the application is not available, you will receive the following notice:<\/p>\n

  6. \nOnce validation is complete, you will be presented with a summary of the results:<\/p>\n
  7. \nWhen you are ready to proceed, click Continue<\/b> to start the addition\/creation phase. Here we see the Plex Windows Service<\/a> being created:<\/p>\n
  8. \nAnd finally, the process concludes with a summary of the number of applications created:<\/p>\n
    \"Import<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All done. Wasn’t that easy?<\/p>\n
