Export files

Export files

The export file includes a spreadsheet that lists the objects within the file.
The following image is an example of an export spreadsheet:
The export spreadsheet includes columns for the path, name, type, and ID for each object.

Export file structure

The export file retains the file structure of the source organization's
Explore
page for projects, folders, and assets. Connections and runtime environments are located in the SYS folder.
The following image shows the contents of an export file:
The image shows the Explore folder with the Accounts project folder and the SYS folder within it. The Accounts folder contains several mappings and one synchronization task. The SYS folder contains ZIP files for the connections and agent group that the mappings and synchronization task use.
The following image shows the same objects on the source organization's
Explore
page:
The image shows that the same mappings and synchronization task that were in the spreadsheet are displayed on the Explore page.

Object names

Each asset is contained in a ZIP file along with its associated metadata and JSON file. The zip file includes the asset name appended by the asset type.
For example, a mapping with the name of m_totals in the source organization has the name of m_totals.DTEMPLATE in the export file. When you export the m_totals mapping to the target organization, the asset has its original name of m_totals.
The following table lists the asset types and the associated extension appended to
