Overview of the Import and Export Management Framework

Oracle's Import and Export Management framework provides a great mechanism to import and export data with these benefits:

• Ease of use: Streamlined UIs, drag and drop mapping, and pre-execution validations

• Integrated: REST and command-line APIs for job definition, invocation, and monitoring

• Consistency: Object definitions that are same throughout the application (import, REST, UI, App Composer), including parent-child structures

• Configuration: Supports custom business logic and events

• Improved debugging: Easier issue diagnosis, analyzes up to the first 10 rows of your source file for validation of data type constraints, and required fields

• Performance: Improved performance with much less import time for high-volume data. Data migrations can be configured to process millions of records per hour

• Flexibility: Can support jobs of all sizes and high-volume onboarding and initial data loads

For more information about using Import and Export Management, see the Understanding Import and Export Management for CX Sales and B2B Service guide.

You can use REST services to integrate Import Management with an external scheduler, run recurring import jobs, define and execute import/export activities, manage maps, and introspect object metadata. The Use Cases section in the REST documentation guide has more information about how to use REST services with Import Management.
