How to: Extract Data From Unqork

Overview

Exporting configuration data lets the client control ownership of their intellectual property. In this how-to guide, you’ll learn how to copy modules stored in the Community Resources workspace of our Unqork Training environment, and perform extractions on various types of environment and configuration-related data.

If there is additional data you need help extracting that is not covered in this how-to guide, submit a request to Unqork Support at support.unqork.com.

What You Can Extract

Unqork has created various extraction modules in the Training environment that you can access and copy into your environment to perform the following data extractions:

  • Services

  • Express Roles

  • Designer Roles

  • Module Components

What You Need

To learn about the types of data you can extract from Unqork, view our Data Extraction in Unqork article.

Extracting Environment Data: Services

The Services Administration page enables users to create, view, edit, and delete external APIs APIs (application programming interfaces) are a set of protocols and definitions developers use to build and integrate application software. APIs act as the connective tissue between products and services. or authentication services. In this section, you'll configure a module that leverages an API that returns and exports a list of your configured services in the Services Administration environment settings.

What You Can Extract

You can extract a list of services from the environment in an Excel spreadsheet format. This list of services includes the Service Name, Service Title, Authentication Type, Host, and Environment Share Type for each service.
