# Export tasks

Export tasks write files or processing results from a data volume to a target connector. After creating a task, check task status and file results before confirming that the export is complete.

## Choose a task

| Task | Description |
| --- | --- |
| [Find export tasks](https://omnifabric.cloudsigma.com/docs/reference/api/ai-studio/data-connections/export-tasks/list-export-tasks.html.md) | Lists readable export tasks in the current workspace. |
| [Inspect an export task](https://omnifabric.cloudsigma.com/docs/reference/api/ai-studio/data-connections/export-tasks/get-export-task.html.md) | Read an export task and its file statistics. |
| [Submit an export](https://omnifabric.cloudsigma.com/docs/reference/api/ai-studio/data-connections/export-tasks/create-export-task.html.md) | Submit files or processing results for export; success indicates task acceptance. |
| [Remove an export task](https://omnifabric.cloudsigma.com/docs/reference/api/ai-studio/data-connections/export-tasks/delete-export-task.html.md) | Delete task and file records without rolling back data already written to the destination. |
| [Inspect export file status](https://omnifabric.cloudsigma.com/docs/reference/api/ai-studio/data-connections/export-tasks/list-export-task-files.html.md) | Lists the files in the export task and the processing status of each file. |
| [Inspect export progress](https://omnifabric.cloudsigma.com/docs/reference/api/ai-studio/data-connections/export-tasks/get-export-task-state.html.md) | Read the status summary of the export task. |
| [Run an export again](https://omnifabric.cloudsigma.com/docs/reference/api/ai-studio/data-connections/export-tasks/rerun-export-task.html.md) | Reprocess selected or failed files; success indicates acceptance. |
| [Find exportable results](https://omnifabric.cloudsigma.com/docs/reference/api/ai-studio/data-connections/export-tasks/list-exportable-files.html.md) | Lists processed files in a volume that can be used to create export tasks. |
| [Choose an export destination](https://omnifabric.cloudsigma.com/docs/reference/api/ai-studio/data-connections/export-tasks/configure-export-target.html.md) | Describe destination locations and configuration fields for each target type. |
| [Check a target table name](https://omnifabric.cloudsigma.com/docs/reference/api/ai-studio/data-connections/export-tasks/check-target-table-name.html.md) | Check whether the target database and table name in a OmniFabric connector can be used in an export configuration. |
| [Map source and target columns](https://omnifabric.cloudsigma.com/docs/reference/api/ai-studio/data-connections/export-tasks/generate-column-mapping.html.md) | Generate export column-mapping suggestions for a OmniFabric target table. |

## Export destinations

| Export destination | Selectable sources on the current creation page | Final data location | Additional selections on the page |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| OSS or standard S3 | Original files or processing results | A path in the selected connector's bucket | Connector, target path, and compression method. |
| OmniFabric | Parsed or vectorized processing results | A database table in the selected connector | Connector, database, existing or new table, and column mappings. |

## Create and confirm an export task

1. Select files to export. For OmniFabric exports, the current page shows only parsed or vectorized processing results. For object storage, you can select original files or processing results.
2. Select the target connector. For object storage, enter a target path and compression method. For OmniFabric, select a database and an existing or new table, then configure column mappings.
3. Call [Create a task](https://omnifabric.cloudsigma.com/docs/reference/api/ai-studio/data-connections/export-tasks/create-export-task.html.md). When the request is accepted, record the task ID.
4. Use the task ID to [get task status](https://omnifabric.cloudsigma.com/docs/reference/api/ai-studio/data-connections/export-tasks/get-export-task-state.html.md) and [list export files](https://omnifabric.cloudsigma.com/docs/reference/api/ai-studio/data-connections/export-tasks/list-export-task-files.html.md). The export is complete when the counts of waiting and running files are both `0` and the failed count is `0`.

For the relationship between `type` and `config`, target fields, and conditions for direct API calls, see [Configure an export target](https://omnifabric.cloudsigma.com/docs/reference/api/ai-studio/data-connections/export-tasks/configure-export-target.html.md).
