# exportConnections

> Export connection metadata and any attachments from the given OIC instance. Each connection found will be exported under its own connection folder wit

Export connection metadata and any attachments from the given OIC instance.  Each connection found will be exported under its own connection folder with its contents consisting of a 'connections.json' file as well as attachments. This operation is designed to be used with our [browser extension](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-browser-extension.md), which collects a list of IDs from the OIC Integrations page and triggers a webhook. The webhook then initiates a utility workflow that exports the projects and commits the resulting files to your source control management (SCM) system.

exports as shown below. Note that you can use absolute path in Export Folder to export in a folder other than artifacts (FD\_ARTIFACTS\_DIR).

> Either **FDOIC\_CLOUD\_ACCOUNT\_CODE** Target property value or **FDOIC\_INP\_CLOUD\_ACCOUNT\_CODE** plugin input value should exist. When both exists, plugin input value will take precedence. See [Creating/Editing a Cloud Account and Provider](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/integrations/cloud-account-and-provider.md) for details on how to setup Cloud Account for OIC.

# Artifacts

This operation produces artifacts that will be stored in the artifacts repository.

# Endpoint Selection

This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the Target.

# Endpoint Execution

This operation will execute on any one of the selected endpoints and will be random in the determination of which one.

# Special Considerations

## Attachments

This operation will also export any relevant attachments for the connections and save them in the artifacts repository.
