Overview
SnapLogic Manager supports Project Import and Export operations. This enables you to copy SnapLogic Assets across Orgs. You can export a Project in the form of a Zip file containing all of the Pipelines, files, Flows, Accounts, and Tasks associated with the Project. Pipeline dependencies, such as child Pipelines and related accounts, are maintained during export. If you use different Orgs for development, testing, and production, you can then import the Project into the target Org. An accounts_template.json file is included in the exported JSON file. The Project Import wizard supports uploading the accounts template and a global expression file that defines variables for Account access. This enables you, as an Org admin, to maintain a master file for your account information and then change the variables across Orgs without changing the master file, supporting Continuous Integration and Continuous Development (CI/CD).
SnapLogic Accounts
Accounts are exported only when the Org supports encryption. SnapLogic, by default, has Standard Account Encryption (SAE) across all Orgs, unless an Org has opted for Enhanced Account Encryption. In SAE, accounts are encrypted with keys managed in the cloud.
Export Projects
Before exporting a Project, ensure that all the Pipelines in the Project are saved and closed.
The maximum number of files you can export at one time is 200.
To export a Project:
In SnapLogic Manager, hover your cursor over the Project you want to export, and click
. The Project menu appears:
Click Export from the dropdown list. The Export <Project Space>/<Project Name> dialog appears:
Select the Asset types that you want to export. Pipeline, Task, Account, and Flows options are selected by default. You can select All to export all assets or deselect any asset types from the project export.
Click Export to download the Project as a Zip file.

Select one of the following methods for handling duplicate assets within the project space or global
sharedfolder:Keep existing assets: Creates a new project and marks the duplicate imported assets with a number 1 at the end of the asset name.
Create a new project: Creates a new project with a number 1 at the end of the name and all assets from the import with their names intact. The Activity Log records the new project and/or pipeline and indicates that they are created by the import operation.
Overwrite existing assets: Allows you to select which assets (files, pipelines, tasks, accounts, and flows if applicable) to import and replaces any duplicate existing assets with the imported ones. The Activity Log records the new project and/or pipeline and indicates that they are created by the import operation.
When the file upload is complete, click Import. A confirmation message appears on the page, and the new project appears in the list of projects on the left.
You might need to do the following:Add files that are referenced if they were not a part of the project's export.
Edit the Tasks to select the Snaplex on which they must run.
Important
References to assets in the project remain unchanged.
If you are importing a project with the same name as one that already exists, (n) is appended to the project name for each time it is imported, starting with n=1.
