It is strongly recommended that you use a script to create environment variables with the correct values for your environment. For more information, see Setting up installation environment variables.

Upload the export file to the ${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERANDS} namespace.
After the upload is successful, import the file to the target cluster with the same namespace (the target cluster must have a cpdtool environment setup).

--namespace=${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERANDS} \
--arch=${CPU_ARCH} \
--profile=${CPD_PROFILE_NAME}
