Export data to Amazon S3

Export data to Amazon S3




 Zoho DataPrep supports exporting data to Amazon S3 cloud storage service. Amazon Simple Storage Service, also known as Amazon S3  from AWS provides object storage through a web service interface.

Info
Important
Prior to connecting your Amazon S3 data with Zoho DataPrep, you need to enable the below permissions from your Amazon S3 account:
1. ListAllMyBuckets
2. Get BucketLocation
3. ListBucket
4. GetObject
Please refer to Amazon S3 help pages to provide these permissions. 

  To export data to Amazon S3

1. Click the Export now option from the Export menu on the DataPrep Studio page.



 2. Choose the Cloud storage category and Amazon S3 option or you can type Amazon S3 in the search box.



NotesNote 
: If you had 
already added an Amazon S3 connection earlier, you can simply select the existing connection under the 
Saved connections 
section and proceed with exporting. To learn more about Saved connections, click 
here.

3. If your data has columns with personal data, you can choose to include or exclude some or all of them in the PII columns section.

You can also apply the necessary security methods below to protect your personal data column:

A. Data masking   

     Data masking hides original data with 'x' to protect personal information.

 

B. Data Tokenization  

     Data tokenization replaces each distinct value in your data with a random value. Hence the output is statistically identical to the original data.

 

C. None

     You can select None if you do not want to use any security method.

 






 4. Click Next. If you have added a connection already
, click the existing connection and start exporting data.



Notes
Note :  Click the Add new link to add a new Amazon S3 account. You can create as many connections as required.

5. You will need to authenticate S3 when you try connecting to S3 for the first time.

6. Provide the Connection name, Access key, and Secret key.



7. Click the Authenticate Amazon S3 button to authenticate your account with your credentials. 
NotesNote : The connection configuration will be saved for accessing data in Amazon S3 in the future. Credentials are securely encrypted and stored.
8. Select the File format the data should be exported with.

9. Enter the Bucket name you want to export your data to.

 

10. Provide the Folder path where you want to export your data. If you choose to store the files in the bucket without any folder, you can leave this field empty.

13. You can also click the Advanced options link for the following options.
  • You can encode the file using character encoding methods like UTF-8 using the File encoding option.
  • You can use a Row Separator such as UNIX (Line Feed) or MAC (Carriage Return) to ensure the line endings are translated properly.
  • You can distinguish the point at which the content of a text field begins and ends using Text qualifier s such as Single Quote(') or   Double Quote(").

  • You can separate out the data or split using a Delimiter such as a Comma(,), Semicolon(;), or a Space.
  • Enable the Compress as a .zip file 
    toggle to export your file as a .zip file.
