Filter by legal entity when exporting database in LCS

When exporting the database of a UAT environment (sandbox) in lifecycle services, I want to filter the exportation by legal entity.

Means I don't want the bacpac file to contain all the legal entities.

Is there any way to filter before beginning with the export process?

Hi,

Not possible unfortunately, the export/backup is a database level operation, and the legal entities are all in the same DB & tables.

You could investigate removing the other legal entities prior to the backup?

It is not possible to do from LCS, since it does not understand the data model of F&O.

If you only want specific legal entities in your BACPAC file, your best option is to import it into a staging environment, and clear out the data you don't want, and then export it from that environment.

So some sort of data clearing process following your exports.

I'm currently facing the same issue, when creating a bacpac file, I don't want to include all companies (legal entities) in it

No, you cannot order LCS to export only specific legal entities.

Question: Why do you only want to export some legal entities and not all?
