In this method, you import data from another instance using an HTTPS data source to
return a CSV formatted file containing the rows to be imported.

## Before you begin

Role required: Admin.

## About this task

This approach uses the Import Sets application to retrieve the data from the source and import it to the destination.Figure 1. HTTPS Data Sources

## Procedure

1. Create a new data source by navigating to Import SetsData Sources on the destination instance.
2. Provide the following field values:  
   * Import set table name: Select a table.
   * Type:File
   * Format:CSV
   * File retrieval method:HTTPS  
     Note:  
     If the Server, File path, Username, and
     Password fields are not visible when
     you select HTTPS, change the file
     retrieval method temporarily to SCP and
     enter this information. Remember to reset the File retrieval method to HTTPS
     after you enter these fields.
   * File path:incident.do?CSV  
     Note:  
     To import specific change records, you can add qualifiers to the path. For example, the following path would return all active change records: `incident.do ?CSV &amp ;sysparm_query =active =
     true "`
   * User name and Password: Enter the user name and password for a valid user on the destination instance.
