Create export task

Creates an export task.

A task is a long-running process that consumes significant system resources. Unlike jobs, tasks have no impact impact on entitlement-based resource quotas. Tasks are managed in the task queue. A task operation returns 201 HTTP response and adds the task to the task queue for processing. Every task is defined by its status: PENDING, IN_PROGRESS, COMPLETED, FAILED.

RDM_ESTIMATE

A RDM_ESTIMATE task defines a process that estimates the volume of the loss data to be exported in an RDM or RDM_DATABRIDGE export. This task enables the tenant to assess the volume of an export job prior to running that job.

RDM export type: The request accepts four parameters: taskType, exportType, resourceUris, and exportLossFormat.
RDM_DATABRIDGE export type: The request accepts four parameters: taskType, exportType, resourceUris, and settings. If loss data is to be exported to a new RDM, the settings object specifies the serverId only. If loss data is to be exported to an existing RDM, the settings object must specify both the serverId and databaseId.

If successful, returns a 201 Accepted HTTP response and add the ESTIMATE_RDM task to the task queue. The task URL (/platform/export/v1/tasks/{taskUUID}) is returned in the Location header to track the status of the task. Use this URL to poll the status of the task. To learn more, see Get Export Task.
