This operation exports file(s) from the build Oracle SaaS environment or your SCM repository, waits for all exports processes to complete, and then downloads results as single as a single zip file artifact. The csvExport operation can only be used with a FlexDeploy partial package-based deployment project of type Oracle SaaS FSM.
Artifact is a single zip file containing zipped CSV File Packages.

Object Types (2)
1. Setup Task
Setup Task Object Type Attributes:
- File Name (with Path) - absolute file path matching structure in Oracle SaaS FSM environment (Required)
- Offering Code - Typically the highest-level or starting point of application configuration (Not Required) @before 5.6.0.5
- Functional Area - Finer tuned business name or rule used to defined the business activity or process (Not Required) @before 5.6.0.5
- Task Code - Unique id for Setup Task (Required)
Before 5.6.0.5 the following convention is followed for the File Name (with Path) → "/SetupTasks/<Offering Code>/<Functional Area>/<Task Code>.zip"
On and after 5.6.0.5 were removed from the attributes so the following convention is followed for the File Name (with Path) → "/SetupTasks/<Task Code>.zip"
2. Fast Formula
@since 5.6.0.5 Fast Formula is one type of Setup Task. Make use of the Fast Formula object type to export and deploy a subset of the Fast Formula Setup Task.
Fast Formula Object Type Attributes:
- File Name (with Path) - absolute file path matching structure in Oracle SaaS FSM environment (Required)
- Task Code - Unique id for Setup Task (Required)
- Fast Formula - The base formula name you want to filter your Fast Formula Setup Task by. This value is typically the formula name in all uppercase.
For Fast Formulas the following convention is followed for the File Name (with Path) → "/SetupTasks/FastFormulas/<Task Code>/<Formula Name>.zip"
Project Files
When populating files from SCM, by default FlexDeploy will classify all zip files containing "SetupTasks/FastFormulas" (case-insensitive) in their path as Fast Formula. All zip files containing "SetupTasks" (case-insensitive in their path) will instead get classified as Setup Task. In addition, with SCM the TaskCode is determined based on the content of the zip file automatically assuming the zip file is a valid CSV file package.
If you are creating a Fast Formula file then, the TaskCode is inferred from the 2nd last part of the path by default.
If you are creating a Setup Task file then, the TaskCode is inferred from the file name by default.
In both cases, you can always manually override the values as needed or write a custom default script for the attribute (Task Code, Formula Name, etc..) in question.
If you are on 5.6.0.4 or earlier, then Offering Code and Functional Area attributes are inferred from the 2nd and 3rd parts of the path starting from the end, respectively. Otherwise, Offering Code and Functional Area will no longer be displayed.
Create a new file
From the project files screen, click the create button, add your file name following the previous format, click evaluate, review attributes set automatically from File Name (adjust path and re-evaluate as necessary), and finally click ok when you're done.

Before using this plugin operation, navigate to Topology → Integrations → Cloud, then create an account with provider OracleFSM for each one of your SaaS environments. This account will store the URL and credentials to make HTTPS requests to your SaaS environment. The account will be reusable by all Oracle SaaS FSM Plugin operations. All fields shown are required.

How to find Task Code for a Setup Task?
To initiate the export or import process, Oracle endpoints requires providing a code for the task. Following these instructions to find the Task Code. We are assuming you have access to FSM resource.
Click Navigator > My Enterprise > Setup and Maintenance.
In the Setup and Maintenance work area,
clickclick Manage Setup Content
fromfrom the Tasks panel tab.
To search for the code of a task
On the Manage Setup Content page, click Manage Task Lists and Tasks.
In the Search field, select Tasks and click Search.
In the search results, click the name of the task.
On the Task page, look for value that appears against Code.
Copy the code and use it where necessary
