Export Plan

This section provides an overview on how to export plans from one environment to another environment as a ZIP file.

You can export a plan from the Dataprep by Trifacta platform from one system to another system as a zip file. The exported zip file contains a JSON file for the plan and JSON files for each referenced asset. The plan and its tasks are exported into the plan definition file.

Note

When you export a plan that has flow tasks, then all the corresponding flows are also exported.

For each flow included in the plan:

  • Each flow is exported only once in a flow definition file, even if it is used in many plan flow tasks.

  • If the flow contains any artifact files, they are included as .data files next to the plan definition file. These files should be imported with the flow, too.

Note

  • You can unzip the exported plan ZIP, remove any of the flow files, and re-zip if you want to import the plan into the same workspace without replicating the flows.

  • You can upload the plan as a single JSON file without re-zipping, if there are no flow files for the plan.

When you export the plan ZIP file, a snapshot of the plan is taken at the time of export.

Plan exports are useful for:

  • Backing up the work in progress on your plans

  • Archiving of completed development work

Limitations

  • The plan file does not include theplan schedules and their associated overrides.
