This operation utilizes Oracle EPM's migration capability to enable a snapshot to be moved across environments.  It downloads a snapshot and saves it as an artifact.

This would be used for the build operation for projects using snapshots to deploy EPM snapshot artifacts, often in a clone type operation where the snapshot already exists.

The downloadSnapshot operation is applicable for the following EPM services:

* Planning

* FreeForm

* Financial Consolidation and Close

* Account Reconciliation

* Tax Reporting

* Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management

* Oracle Strategic Workforce Planning Cloud

* Oracle Sales Planning Cloud
