Export and import operations for data sets
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
You can move data between data sets and Pega 7 Platform instances more easily with export and import operations. You can use the export operation to prepare a backup copy of data outside the Pega 7 Platform. The import operation facilitates initialization of new Pega 7 Platform environments by providing a prepared set of data. You can export data from the data sets that support the Browse operation, and you can import data into the data sets that support the Save operation. Export and Import operations are not available for stream data sets such as Facebook, Stream, Twitter, and YouTube.
