Export model objects

Using the Migration feature, you can export the model objects of a Collibra environment, for example if you want to import them later in another environment.

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

Prerequisites

You have a global role with the Product Rights > System administration global permission.

Steps

  1. On the main toolbar, click Products icon → Cogwheel iconSettings.

    The Settings page opens.

  2. Click Migration.
    The migration page appears on the Export tab page.
  3. Select the model objects that you want to export.

    Note Referenced model objects are also exported based on the export logic. For example, if you export a workflow, all roles to which the workflow refers are also exported.

  4. In the upper-right corner, click Export.

    The Provide file name and description dialog box appears.

  5. Enter the required information.
    • Archive file name: The name of the exported archive file. The extension is always CMA, which is short for Collibra Migration Archive.
    • Report file name: The name of the report file, which contains a summary of the exported model objects, is automatically populated from the Archive file name.
    • Description: A description of the archive.
  6. Click Export.

    The report and the archive are downloaded.
