3. In the alert pop-up window, confirm the action.
4. When finished, download the export file in a local folder.
   

   

5. The exported file will have a name like KB_2_export_dec526ac_9f72022.zip, the number after KB_ indicates the KB Id, in our example, the Id is 2.

Import the Knowledge Base v2.2.2.x

Deploy Solution

1. To import the KB v2.2.2 solution follows the same steps as in Installing Knowledge Base Solution-Deploy the New Knowledge Base Solution
   

   

   Notice that the only difference in the process of deployment is that as this KB solution has already a model deployed (and data) you will need to validate de deletion of the previous schema (DROP operation) by typing the word DELETE before continuing with the Execute SQL step.

   

2. If after the Execute SQL step you get errors like the image below, just Confirm the deploy.
