Export Flow for the All Snapshot Type

The following steps describes the export process flow for the "All" snapshot type:

1. Purges the /data/snapshots/setup folder.

2. Exports all setup artifacts to a separate setup folder.

   A separate CSV is created for each artifact.

3. Purges the /data/snapshots/data folder.

4. Exports historical artifacts by POV.

   Each POV is exported to a separate file.

5. Deletes orphan POVs.

   Orphan POVs result from deleted period mappings, category mappings, locations, or data load rules.

6. Stores snapshot metadata information in a SnapshotParams.json file in the data folder.

   The SnapshotParams.json file includes the last exported process id.

7. Archives the setup and data folders into a ZIP file in the outbox/<filename>.zip folder.

Note:

If the snapshot type is Setup, then only the setup folder is exported and included in the ZIP file.
