Services that support data export and import

The following table identifies which services support the IBM® Cloud Pak for Data data export and import utility (cpd-cli export-import command).

In general, you can use the Cloud Pak for Data data export and import utility to export service data, including metadata, from one Cloud Pak for Data installation and import the service data to another Cloud Pak for Data installation.

The Exceptions column lists any assets that do not support the cpd-cli export-import command.

The Notes column provides details on services that need more steps to be done when you use the data export and import utility. The column also provides information for services that use a different data migration strategy.
