Description

duplicate_check

string

Indicates how to handle duplicates between the source and the destination during import.

Valid values:

  • skip or true
    If a project with the same name exists,

    • Any existing assets with the same name are not updated. They appear in the failed section of the response body with a 409 error.

    • Other assets are added.

  • create_new or false
    If a project with the same name exists,

    • A new project is created with a numbered name in the format projectname number. Example: myProjName 1

    This setting has no effect if the target project does not exist.

  • overwrite

    If an asset with the same name exists in the target project and the asset's type is specified in overwrite_types, it is overwritten. Otherwise, it is skipped.

overwrite_types

list

The types of assets that can be overwritten, if an asset with the same name already exists in the destination project. Valid values:

  • Account

  • File

  • Flows

  • Job

  • Pipeline

Note: Policies are always overwritten.

Description

Key

Type

Description

file

string

The unmodified zip file of the source project that was exported.

The project zip file must be exported from the source project and must be imported without changes to the new location.

The name of this zip file does not indicate the name of the target project, which is specified in import_path.

file_account

string

Optional. The JSON file containing the list of accounts to modify.

To create this file:

  1. Extract the accounts_template.json file from the exported zip file. The JSON includes nodes for each account associated with the project.

  2. Delete the JSON nodes for accounts that you do not want to modify.

  3. Update the values of the value keys for the accounts that you want to modify.
    Replace any encrypted values (such as the password) with the original plain text value. This is required, even if you are not changing the value itself, because these values are encrypted again during import.

If this file is not provided, the accounts are not modified.

file_expr

string

Optional. A zip file containing expression files to add to the root of the project in the new location.

If an expression file with the same name already exists in the target location, it is overwritten.

If this file is not provided, no additional expression files are added to the project.

Example: An expression library file (typically with the .expr extension) might contain:

{ prefix:'test'; prefixer: x => this.prefix + x }
