Exporting a Folder, Task, Data Flow, or Pipeline

Export a folder, task, data flow, or pipeline from a project or folder in a Data Integration workspace to an Object Storage bucket.

By default, Data Integration includes referenced objects such as data assets in an export request.

Before exporting, see Considerations When Using Export and Import for information about objects that have references across folders.

To export a folder, task, data flow, or pipeline, specify the file name for the export object zip file and the location of the bucket. Ensure that you have an Object Storage bucket and the relevant permissions and IAM policies as described in Required Setup and Policies.

    1. Navigate to the workspace in which you want to export a folder, task, data flow, or pipeline.

      For the steps to access a workspace, see Accessing a Workspace.

    2. On the workspace home page, click Projects.
    3. On the Projects page, click the name of the project that contains the object that you want to export.
    4. On the project details page, click Folders.
    5. (Optional) Click the name of the folder.

      If the task, data flow, or pipeline that you want to export is in another folder, click the subfolder name in the folders list.

    6. To export a folder, select Export from the Actions menu of the folder in the list of folders.
    7. To export a task, data flow, or pipeline, perform the following actions:
      1. On the project or folder details page, click Tasks, Data flows, or Pipelines to select the object type that you want to export.
      2. In the list of objects, select Export from the Actions menu of the object.
    8. In the Export <object type> panel, enter the following details:

      • Tenancy OCID: Enter the Oracle Cloud ID of the tenancy in which you want to save the exported zip file.

        The namespace is a system-generated value based on the tenancy OCID that you enter.

      • OCI region: Select the region in the tenancy.
      • Compartment: Select the compartment that contains the Object Storage bucket that you want to use.
      • Bucket: Select the bucket.

      • File name: Enter the file name for the export object zip file.

        Depending on the object type that you're exporting, Data Integration appends a string to the file name when the zip file is created.

        • .folder.zip for a folder

        • .task.zip for a task

        • .dataflow.zip for a data flow

        • .pipeline.zip for a pipeline

      • Overwrite the existing exported zip file: Select the checkbox if you want to overwrite the zip file when the file name that you provide already exists.
    9. Click Export.

      A notification message appears with a View export requests link. Click the link to monitor the request status on the Export/Import requests page. See Monitoring Export and Import Requests.

  • Use the oci data-integration export-request create command and required parameters to export the object:

    oci data-integration export-request create [OPTIONS]

    For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the Command Line Reference.

  • Run the CreateExportRequest operation with the appropriate request details to export the object.
