Using an Export Metadata Job Type

Use the Export Metadata job type to export metadata to a flat file in a .csv (comma-delimited) or .txt (tab-delimited or other delimiter character) format.

The system creates an export file for each artifact (.csv or .txt depending on the file type), and all export files are consolidated into one ZIP file.

Note:

You must extract the .csv or .txt files from the ZIP file if you want to use the files as import files (for example, when importing metadata into another application).

Export Metadata job type parameters include:
