Migrate a data pipeline across environments

You can import and export a single or multiple data pipelines as a ZIP or SLAS file (a ZIP file containing an export.json file and individual integration ZIP files) to migrate it to a different environment. By migrating only tested data pipelines and assets, you can reduce the risk of data corruption in higher environments.

Key features

  • The imported data pipeline retains all the original metadata, such as source and target endpoint with configuration, transformations, schedule and load type.
  • For an import of a single data pipeline, the name of the imported pipeline is based on the ZIP file name. When importing, if a data pipeline exists with the same name as the ZIP file, a number will be appended to the name in brackets.
  • For a bulk import of multiple data pipelines, their names remain the same as the exported data pipelines. When bulk importing, if a data pipeline exists with the same name as the ZIP file, a number will be appended to the name in brackets.
  • By default, the synchronization schedule of the imported data pipeline will be disabled.
  • Notifications are shown upon completion of the export or import, including success and error summaries.

Export a data pipeline

You can simultaneously export a single or multiple data pipelines.

To export a data pipeline:

  1. In the dashboard card or list view, click the three dot menu and select Export. The data pipeline downloads as a ZIP file on your local machine.

Export data pipeline

Import a data pipeline

You can import a single data pipepline or multiple of them simultaneously.

To import a data pipeline that has already been downloaded as a ZIP file:

  1. In the SnapLogic dashboard card or list view, click Import a data pipeline.
  2. Click Choose file, choose the ZIP file from the local machine, and click Import.
    Note: The import runs synchronously and the imported data pipeline is visible once the confirmation message closes.

To import multiple data pipelines in bulk that have already been downloaded as a SLAS file:

  1. In the SnapLogic dashboard card or list view, click Import a data pipeline.
  2. Click Choose file, choose the SLAS file from the local machine, and click Import.
    Note: The import runs asynchronously. The data pipelines are imported in the background after the confirmation message closes. Once all data pipelines are processed, a notification displays the summary of number of successful and failed imports.
