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. On the Projects list page, select the name of the project that contains the object that you want to export. If you need help finding the list page or the project, see Listing Projects.
    2. To export a folder, perform the following actions.
      1. On the project details page, select Folders.
      2. (Optional) To export a subfolder that's in a folder, select the parent folder name.
      3. In the list of folders, find the folder that you want to export.
      4. From the Actions menu (Actions menu) for the folder, select Export. Skip ahead to step 4.
    3. To export a task, data flow, or pipeline, perform the following actions.
      1. (Optional) If the object to export is in a folder in the project: On the project details page, select Folders and then select the parent folder name.
      2. On the project details or folder details page, select Tasks, Data flows, or Pipelines to select the object type that you want to export.
      3. In the list of tasks, data flows, or pipelines, find the object that you want to export.
      4. From the Actions menu (Actions menu) for the object, select Export.
    4. 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.

      • Namespace: The tenancy name that's based on the tenancy OCID. If applicable, you can enter the tenancy name if the system doesn't populate the field with a value.

      • 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 the following 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.
    5. Select Export.

      A notification message appears with a View export requests link. Select 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.
