  4. LCM Export (v1)

LCM Export (v1)

Initiates a repeat export of a Migration artifact based on the settings that were used to export artifacts using the Migration artifact export screen. This REST API is version 11.1.2.3.600.

You can also use EPM Automate to automate the repeat export of artifacts.

The presence of status -1 in the response indicates that the reexport is in progress. You should use the job status URI to determine whether the reexport is complete.

If the Job completes with status 1, the task details will be mentioned in the items from which the source, destination, and URL to fetch the first set of errors is available. All issues for a particular task can be fetched in the manner of pagination. Acceptable values for msgtype are: error/warn/info; limit represents the number of issues requested per request, and offset marks the beginning number to fetch the issues.

This API is version v1.
