Automated Exporting of Data Flow Definition/Config

ipson — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 06:41:25 GMT

I'd like to have a process for automatically exporting the data flow definition and configuration without needing to go into the CDF UI.

Right now, if I wanted the configuration, I'd click here in the UI:

My thought was to use the CDP CLI, but under the df section, there doesn't appear to be a command for this.

Any suggestions?

Hello @ipson

Thanks for using Cloudera Community.

To the Q, Kindly use "dfworkload" Commands [1]. The concerned Command has the Sub-Command to address the requirement of fetching Definition & Configurations. If any of the requirement isn't met via [1], Kindly Submit a Support Case for us to get the same included in the CLI with the Collaboration of DFX Engineering.

When I run this command via the cdp cli, it just returns a JSON like this:

```

{

"archiveName": "[MY_FLOW_NAME].tar.gz"

}

```

I want to get the actual flow definition.
