Importing Exported Files
You can import already exported archives of APIs, global policies, and other related assets and re-create them in
API Gateway. For more information about exporting APIs, see
Exporting APIs. For information about exporting global policies, see
Exporting Global Policies.
Each artifact in an archive is associated with a universally unique identifier (UUID) across all API Gateway installations. When importing an archive, the UUID helps in determining whether the corresponding artifact is already available in API Gateway. In such a situation, you can specify whether to overwrite an already existing artifact during the import process.
You must have the API Gateway's import assets functional privilege assigned to import an archive.
Note: During export or import of assets, ensure that the master password is identical across stages and on different instances of API Gateway.
