Retrieve Data from the Source Org

Get external client app metadata from the source org using a retrieve operation.

Verify that the package.xml manifest file in org 1 is configured with the four components of the external client app.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <members>*</members>
        <name>ExternalClientApplication</name>
    </types>
    <types>
        <members>*</members>
        <name>ExtlClntAppOauthSettings</name>
    </types>
    <types>
        <members>*</members>
        <name>ExtlClntAppGlobalOauthSettings</name>
    </types>
    <types>
        <members>*</members>
        <name>ExtlClntAppOauthConfigurablePolicies</name>
    </types>
    <version>58.0</version>
</Package>

Run the retrieve command using the credentials for the source org.

sf project retrieve start --manifest package.xml --target-org johndoe@example.com

Now that you have the source org data from org 1, there are two options for deploying external client apps. Either the deployed app references the OAuth credentials of the source org or it generates a new OAuth global settings file when it’s deployed.
