Download an eSpace

Downloading an eSpace (An application or a part of an application that implements a set of services, gathered in a single project. Each service can be presented in a different flow.) means retrieving a specific eSpace version from the OutSystems Hub Server repository into your work area.

When you download an eSpace, a new oml (Stands for: OutSystems Markup Language) file is created in your work area. By default, OutSystems Service Studio suggests the following name:

<eSpace_name>.oml

Downloading an eSpace version

From here on you can make the changes that you want, save and upload the eSpace again, with or without changing the oml filename; for OutSystems Platform it is the same eSpace since internally the eSpace identifier (Each eSpace has an unique identifier, computed using time-stamp and network adapter of the local machine. This identifier is generated the first time the eSpace is saved and used by OutSystems Service Center to uniquely identify the eSpace.) hasn't changed.

The Download operation is available in the File menu or on the Toolbar.

If you are not connected to an OutSystems Hub Server, OutSystems Service Studio automatically prompts you to select a server and a user name, in order to establish the connection.

In this situation, you must be aware that there is a connection time-out for this operation and that, if necessary, you can configure it. How?

When the Download from server window is launched, you can simply select the eSpace you want to download.

If you want to download the latest eSpace version (Version of the eSpace in the repository of OutSystems Hub Server. Each time, the eSpace is uploaded, this version is incremented.) uploaded to the server, which may or may not be the one currently running, just click the Download button.

If you want to download another eSpace version, select the Older versions button, select the version, and click the Download button. See how to download a specific eSpace version.

Download access rights

To download an eSpace from the server, you must have, at least, a Download security level for that eSpace.

To check your permissions, you must login to the Service Center. In the My Settings tab, you can check your effective permissions: Security Settings and eSpaces, Extensions and Solutions Granted. If necessary, contact the Service Center administrator and ask to be granted the suitable permissions.

You can also download an eSpace version in OutSystems Service Center, from the eSpace screen.
