Overview

In Visier, sources store data for your solution and are used to map to data load targets, such as analytic objects. For more information, see Sources. Use this API to transfer sources between tenants if you're using flat files and changing file formats during development and testing, such as adding or removing file columns.

With this API, you can:

  • Export all sources from a tenant in ZIP format.
  • Import a ZIP file that contains a list of sources to a tenant.
  • Clone a source's files into a different source.

Administrating tenants can specify the tenant using TargetTenantID. The TargetTenantID request header defines the tenant that you're logged into. If defined, the API call executes from the specified tenant. If omitted, the default is the administrating tenant.
