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 zip file artifact. The csvExport operation can only be used with a FlexDeploy partial deployment project of type Oracle SaaS FSM.
Artifact is a single zip file containing zipped CSV File Packages.
Environment/Instance Properties
| Property Name | Property Code | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oracle SaaS FSM Account | FDFSM_CLOUD_ACCOUNT_CODE | No* | The Oracle SaaS FSM account with all the required properties like instance URL, Username, and Password. The account will be likely be different for each FSM environment. |

| API Timeout | FDFSM_INP_TIMEOUT | No | Maximum amount of time (seconds) to wait for export process to complete after it is started. Defaults to 300 seconds (5 minutes). |
| Save Export Result File | FDFSM_INP_SAVE_EXPORT_RESULT_FILE | No | Saves a comparison result file to the reports directory as a JSON file. The JSON file provides a summary of the comparison process and represents the table shown in the Comparison Details section of the user interface. |
| Save Export Report File | FDFSM_INP_SAVE_EXPORT_REPORT_FILE | No | Saves a comparison report file to the reports directory as a Excel file. The excel file provides comparison reports for each of the business objects that were processed. For each business object, a report each for Only in Configuration 1, In Both With Mismatch, and Only In Configuration 2, as applicable is provided. |
| Save Export Summary Report File | FDFSM_INP_SAVE_EXPORT_SUMMARY_REPORT_FILE | No | Saves a comparison report file to the reports directory as a Excel file.

Outputs
| Output Name | Description |
|---|---|
Artifacts
This operation produces artifacts that will be stored in the artifacts repository.
Endpoint Selection
This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the environment/instance.
Endpoint Execution
This operation will execute on any one of the selected endpoints and will be random in the determination of which one.
Special Considerations
*Oracle SaaS FSM Account will be required on either the input or environment instance. If a value is set on both then, the input will take precedence.
Oracle SaaS FSM project type has one object type Setup Tasks with 4 attributes:
- File Name (with Path) - absolute file path matching structure in Oracle SaaS FSM environment
- Offering Code - Typically the highest-level or starting point of application configuration (Not Required)
- Functional Area - Finer tuned business name or rule used to defined the business activity or process (Not Required)
- Task Code - Unique id for Setup Task (Required)
In general, the following convention is followed for the File Name (with Path) that way the other attributes can be set for you base on the path without having to enter it again.
Format: "../SetupTasks/<Offering Code>/<Functional Area>/<Task Code>"
Notice
If you are populating from SCM, then by default FlexDeploy will find all zip files that contain "SetupTasks" (case-insensitive) and classify them as Setup Tasks in your project files catalog. TaskCode is determined based on the content of the zip file automatically.
If are creating the file then, you have to manually enter the TaskCode from the FlexDeploy UI.
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.
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, click Manage Setup Content from 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
