Hi  

You can change the import/export property and increase the count to 11,000, then export. After the export, change the count back to 10,000. This is a better practice to avoid system performance issues.

Hi @Shabbir1 

Exports are windowed by the property glide.ui.export.limit which has a default value of 10000. To set these properties, navigate to System Properties > Import Export. You can change the import/export property.

 

Note: In prod - Don't keep the export property with large size (like 100K) as large data exports can significantly degrade platform performance.

Once as an Admin you exported the data , revert back to default value or a bit high value.

Hi Shabbir,

You have answers already from the experts but may I know the reason. Is this a one time extract or will be automated?

If one time extract I would rather modify filters to get chunks of records and merge the files later instead of modifying the system properties for export limit to avoid any deviation from platform default/provided recommendations.
