Migration export logic

The export logic of the migration feature determines how an object is exported: which fields and other objects it needs.

If you export an object, Collibra Platform automatically exports all referenced objects. For example, if you export a workflow, Collibra will also export roles, asset types, and statuses to which the workflow refers. For that reason, the migration feature differentiates between primary objects and secondary objects:

Primary objects

You can migrate most of the model objects and navigation artifacts:

Note 

Secondary objects

Secondary objects are objects that are referenced by a primary object or by another secondary object. These could also be instance data.

Secondary objects include the following:

Objects that cannot be migrated

Some objects will never be migrated. The following is a non-exhaustive list of such objects:

Export logic by object

The following table shows an overview of all objects, their exported fields, and the secondary objects to which they can refer.

Tip 

Use these options to filter the rows of the table to your needs:
