Tips   Export roles

Roles are exported using predefined integration events which do not depend on your login partition or the search filters specified on the Roles screen.

The directory location for exported .csv files is specified in the export integration event. By default, exported files are saved in the /config/variants/variant
/partitions/partition/data
directory for the target partition.

By default, exported files have the suffix _Export appended to the filename. The original files are not overwritten. To reload data from exported files using integration events, you must first change the filename to remove the suffix. If there is no data to be exported, the exported file will contain column titles only.

For more information on export integration events, see the Ariba Buyer Data Load Guide.
