Import

Importing objects includes a series of requests and responses. To import objects, you perform the following tasks:

Log in to the target organization.
Send an import POST request to upload the ZIP file.
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services returns the job ID for the import job.
See Uploading an import package.
Send an import POST request to import objects. The request includes the import job ID, a list of objects to import, and parameters to resolve any conflict resolution that might occur. An example of a conflict resolution might be if you try to import an asset that has the same name as another asset in the import location.
You can specify a runtime environment that exists in the target organization to use instead of a source runtime environment. To find a list of the runtime environments in the target organization, you can use the lookup resource.
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services returns the status of the import such as In Progress or Success, or returns an error message. The response also includes the source organization ID for the organization that created the export package.
See Starting an import job.
Send an import GET request to get the status of the import job. You can also request status at the object level.
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services returns the status of the import job and if requested, status of each object in the package.
See Getting the import job status.

Uploading an import package

Use a POST request to upload an import package.

POST request

To upload the import package, use the following URI:

/public/core/v3/import/package

For Content-Type, use

multipart/form-data

In the request body, include a part with the name of package. For its content, use the export ZIP file that you want to import.
By default, Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services uses checksum validation to verify that no changes were made to the contents of the export ZIP file after it was created. If you want to upload an import package that contains a modified export ZIP file, include the relaxChecksum parameter and set the value to True.
The following image shows an example of the request body in Postman:

POST response

If successful, returns the following information for the import job:

Field	Type	Description
jobId	String	ID of the import job.
jobStatus	Collection	Status of the package upload.
state	String	Returned in the status object. Status of the import job, such as In Progress, Success, or Failed.
message	String	Returned in the status object. Import job status message.
checksumValid	Boolean	Indicates whether the import package has valid checksum.

POST request example

You might receive a response similar to the following example:

{
  "jobId": "2oZb7vFI2QQg4ncd4AyCGn",
  "jobStatus": {
    "state": "NOT_STARTED",
    "message": null
  }
  "checksumValid": true
}

Starting an import job

Use a POST request to specify and start an import job.

POST request

You can import objects such as assets, connections, Secure Agent configurations, and schedules. To specify the import objects and start the import job, use the following URI:

/public/core/v3/import/<id>

The is the import job ID received in the POST response for the import package upload.
To get the object IDs that you want to include in the request, you can use the lookup resource. For more information, see the lookup resource.
Include the following fields in the request:

Filed	Type	Description
name	String	Name of the import job. Default name is job-
importSpecification	Complex type	Used to specify import specifications. By default, the import includes all objects in the import package with default conflict resolution settings
defaultConflictResolution	String	Include in the importSpecification object. Whether to overwrite existing assets with the assets in the import file. Includes the following options: OVERWRITE. Overwrite the existing asset with the asset in the import file. REUSE. Do not import the asset. The import includes connections and runtime environments associated with the assets if they do not exist in the target organization.
includeObjects	Collection	Include in the importSpecification object. Objects to include in the import. By default, the import includes all objects in the import package. If the specified object is a project, the import includes all assets that belong to the project and all dependent objects that are not already present in the target organization. If the specified object is an asset, the import creates the asset's containers (project, folder) if they do not already exist. Informatica recommends that you include no more than 1000 objects in an import job.
objectSpecification	Collection	Include in the importSpecification object. Specifies the object properties. If properties are not specified for a particular object, the import uses the default conflict resolution settings
sourceObjectGuid	String	Include in the objectSpecification object. The object ID in the export package file. Required if objectSpecification is present.
conflictResolution	String	Include in the objectSpecification object. Whether to overwrite existing assets with the assets in the import file. Includes the following options: OVERWRITE. Overwrite the existing asset with the asset in the import file. REUSE. Do not import the asset. The import includes connections and runtime environments associated with the assets if they do not exist in the target organization.
targetObjectId	String	Include in the objectSpecification object. Used for Container to Container mapping, as well as some asset to asset mappings. Use to specify a connection or runtime environment that exists in the target organization. To find the ID of a connection or runtime environment, you can use the lookup resource.
