Import model objects

Using the Migration feature, you can import an archive file containing model objects of a Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud environment. Click here for more information about the import logic.

Note Exporting and importing CMA files is restricted by the file upload settings, which determine the maximum file size, allowed file extensions and maximum amount of uploads and downloads per day. Contact Collibra support if you want to change the file upload settings.

  • The versions of the source and target environment have to be the same. Migrating between different versions may lead to unexpected behavior.
