When you export a profile, Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services creates an export ZIP file that contains the profiles that you selected for export. You can select individual profile to export, or you can select an entire project or folder. When you export a project or folder, the export file includes all of the profiles in the project or folder. To export a profile, you need the following privileges and permissions:
•Your user role must have privileges to export profiles.
•You must have read permission on the profile.
Export files
The export file retains the file structure of the source organization's Explore page for projects and folders. The profiles are located in the default folder or any folder from where you exported the profile. Connections and runtime environments are located in the SYS folder. The export file includes a spreadsheet that lists the objects within the file.
