Import and Export Custom Objects

Before you can import and export data for custom objects created with Application Composer, you must first generate the object artifacts required for Import and Export Management. To generate the required artifacts, you must first publish your active sandbox.

Enable Import and Export for Custom Objects

After completing your object model extensions, publish your sandbox. Sandbox publication registers your extensions and makes them available to Import and Export Management, so that you can import and export custom object data.

After you publish your sandbox, you can then schedule your import and export processes. For instructions and examples, see the chapter about importing and exporting custom objects in the import documentation for your cloud service.

Error Handling

After publishing a sandbox, always review the Import and Export page to confirm that the artifact generation successfully completed.

If errors occur, review the error details and diagnostics, update the relevant custom fields and objects, and then republish your sandbox to regenerate the artifacts.

If the status is unsuccessful after publishing the sandbox, then click the Generate button on the Import and Export page to try again:

1. Confirm that you're not in a sandbox.

2. On the main Overview page in Application Composer, select the Import and Export link in the Common Setup pane, or in the local area of the main Overview page.

3. On the Import and Export page, click the Generate button.
