Exporting a project sends all pipelines, files, and tasks to a .zip file, including those in the Shared folder. It does not include Snaps or Snaplexes saved within that project. Accounts are exported only when the org supports encryption. SnapLogic, by default, has standard encryption enforced on all the orgs unless an org has chosen Enhanced Account Encryption. With standard encryption, the accounts are encrypted with cloud-managed keys. If the org by some reason does not have any kind of encryption, the accounts will not be exported.
Pipeline dependencies such as nested pipelines within that project and accounts are maintained. Once the project is imported, you will need to add any files that were previously referenced, configure the Snaplex the pipeline should run on, and re-add any Snaps that were specific to the project.
Step-by-step guide
To export a project:
- Hover over the project name in Manager, then select Export from the drop-down menu.
You can then choose to export all assets that make up the project, or to exclude certain assets like files, to limit the size of the resulting compressed file.
When exporting large projects, there is no indicator to inform you that the project is being exported. You will need to wait for the .zip file to be downloaded to know it has completed.
To import a project:
- Hover over the Projects header, then select Import from the drop-down menu.
- If you are attempting to import a Shared project, accounts, files, and task references in the import file with the same name as assets in the existing Shared project will not import. If a matching Shared project asset can not be found, the reference is removed.
- Pipelines that reference these Shared assets are updated during import to point to the item existing in this org. If the asset is not found, the reference is removed.
- References to assets within the project remain unchanged.
- If you are importing a project with the same name as one that already exists, (n) will be appended to the project name for each time it is imported, starting with n=1.
- The import API limits does not import projects larger than 100MB.
