Export and Import Organizations

You can export an organization, together with its assets, asset types, and associated artifacts from an Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service instance. You can then import the organization into another Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service instance.

When you export an organization, all assets and their associated asset types are exported. The artifacts connected with the asset types, such as metrics, rules, anomalies, predictions, and trends are also exported. Importing the organization into another instance creates the organization, together with its assets, asset types, and associated artifacts, in the importing instance.

Note:

Import of organizations exported from previous releases is not supported. If you try to import a previously exported organization from an earlier release into the current release of Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service, the import may fail.

Any groups and places that exist in the exported organization are also brought into the importing instance. Note that any devices connected to assets in the original instance are not included in the export. If you have asset types with mandatory sensor attributes, you would need to create new device links for the assets in the imported organization.
