Migrating from FlexionTech to Dobermann

Dobermann has moved from the FlexionTech publisher to the new DBMN publisher on the VS Code Marketplace. Because the publisher has changed, the new extension uses a separate storage namespace — your existing data will not carry over automatically. You need to export from the old extension and import into the new one.

The process takes about 2 minutes.

Before You Start

Open the same Dobermann workspace you were using with the FlexionTech extension. Execution history (your past batch results and transaction logs) is stored in a SQLite database inside your workspace folder. If you open a different workspace, that history won’t be there.

Your endpoints and environments will be migrated via export/import (Step 1–4 below). But execution history stays with the workspace automatically — as long as you keep using the same one, the new extension picks it up.

Step 1: Export Your Data

While the FlexionTech extension is still installed, export everything:

1. Open Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P)
2. Run Dobermann: Export Workspace
3. Save the file somewhere easy to find

This exports all your endpoints, folders, and environments into a single file. Sensitive data (tokens, secrets) is excluded for security.

Step 2: Install Dobermann from the Marketplace

Install the new version published under DBMN:

1. Open Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X)
2. Search for “Dobermann”
3. Look for the one published by dbmn (not FlexionTech)
4. Click Install

Or install directly from the VS Code Marketplace.

Step 3: Open Dobermann

In the Activity Bar (left sidebar), click Dobermann — the icon tooltip now reads “Dobermann”.

The extension will be empty — this is expected. Your data is coming in the next step.

Step 4: Import Your Data

1. Open Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P)
2. Run Dobermann: Import Workspace
3. Select the export file from Step 1
4. Choose Merge to import without overwriting

See Import/Export for details on import modes.

Step 5: Re-enter Credentials

Tokens and secrets are never included in exports. For each environment:

• OAuth — Re-enter your client secret, then sign in. Important: the OAuth redirect URI has changed from vscode://FlexionTech.active8/oauth-callback to vscode://dbmn.dobermann/oauth-callback. You must update this in your OAuth provider’s client configuration — otherwise you’ll get an Invalid parameter: redirect_uri error in the browser when signing in.
• JWT — Re-enter your token
• Test — Run a single API call against a non-production environment to confirm connectivity

Step 6: Uninstall the FlexionTech Extension

Once you’ve confirmed everything works:

1. Open Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X)
2. Find the old FlexionTech version
3. Click Uninstall
4. Reload VS Code when prompted

Do not run both extensions at the same time — they can conflict with each other.

After Migration

• Sign in to DBMN — If you had a DBMN account, sign in again from the Account panel to restore your license and trial status.
• Execution history — If you kept the same workspace (see Before You Start), your past batch results and transaction logs are already available in the new extension.

Troubleshooting

I can see both extensions in the Activity Bar Uninstall the FlexionTech version (Step 6). Having both installed simultaneously can cause conflicts.

OAuth stopped working / Invalid parameter: redirect_uri The redirect URI changed with the new publisher. Update your OAuth provider’s client configuration to use vscode://dbmn.dobermann/oauth-callback (was vscode://FlexionTech.active8/oauth-callback). Then re-enter your client secret in the environment settings — secrets are never transferred between extensions.
