Export Data Service Page

This page is used to export data services from your workspace. With this page wizard you can export the selected data service to either the file system or to a git repository. The first step of the wizard is to select which export type you want to use. Make your choice here:

Once you select the export type, click Image of the next button to take you to the next step of the wizard. The next step is different depending on if you are exporting to the file system or exporting to a git repository.

Since you've selected to perform a git repository export, the rest of this help page will talk about that type of export.

Export To Git Repository

The next step in the wizard is to declare the properties of the repository you want to export to. You can do this by either selecting one of your saved repositories or by entering the repository properties directly. To chose a saved repository select one from this dropdown list:

Once a saved repository is selected, its properties are used to populate the input fields. If the repository you want to import from does not exist, or you want to modify a property of a saved repository, you can enter or change properties in the input fields. Here is what the repository properties input fields look like:

Here's a description of those import repository properties:

Repository URL - the URL of the git repository being exported to.
Repository Branch - the git repository branch (defaults to "master" if none is entered).
Author Name - the name of the person performing the export. This is a git commit operation.
Author Email Address - the email of the person performing the export.
Relative File Path - the relative resource path, or just the name with extension, of the data service being exported. Note: The file path must end in '.zip'.

In addition to the above properties, authentication properties are needed in order to access the git repository. You can either use SSH or HTTP authentication. If you are going to use SSH you can use either private key or password authentication. Here is what the SSH settings input fields look like:
