We generally do not recommend using export tasks to write data back to external sources. However, export tasks may be available and supported for some source types based on your Foundry enrollment.
The following export task documentation is intended for users of export tasks who have not yet transitioned to our recommended export workflow.
Data Connection export tasks support writing to a wide range of common enterprise systems including:
Detailed export task documentation is available in the Foundry platform. Navigate to Custom Documentation from the Help & support tab in the lower left of your platform navigation sidebar. Then, navigate to Data Connection > Sources > Export Tasks to view the range of configuration options.
Known export task limitations
Export tasks are not integrated with markings and export controls. Data exported via export tasks do not require unmarking permission on the exported dataset or stream.
Export tasks are not optimized for performance. Exporting large quantities of data may result in long-running jobs or jobs that fail to complete.
Export tasks do not have a user interface for configuration and instead must be configured using YAML to provide the required configuration options. Not all export task options are documented for self-service use; in some cases, export tasks can only be configured through support from Palantir.
