Export characteristics
Export characteristics are properties you use to control and describe an export with the bulk API.
The following characteristics are required:
name(string): name of this import (maximum 100 characters).
The following characteristics are optional:
dataRetentionDuration(duration): the length of time exported data should remain in the staging area. Bulk API 2.0 uses the ISO-8601 standard for specifying all durations. Valid values are anything from PT1H (1 hour) to P14D (2 weeks). This setting will default to PT12H (12 hours) if not explicitly set during export definition creation.autoDeleteDuration(duration): the length of time before the import or export definition will be automatically deleted. Bulk API 2.0 uses the ISO-8601 standard for specifying all durations. The minimum duration is PT1H (1 hour), there is no maximum. If the property is not set, automatic deletion will not occur. This is typically used for one-time-use import and export definitions.Note: The export definition should not be deleted until after data is retrieved. If the export is of large volume, we recommend setting the
autoDeleteDurationto a minimum of 1 day. This parameter applies to definitions only and does not affect synced data.
