Exporting Data from DLI to OBS

Precautions

• The exported file can be in JSON format, and the text format can only be UTF-8.
• Only the data in the DLI table (the table type is Managed) can be exported to the OBS bucket, and the export path must be specified to the folder level.
• Data can be exported across accounts. That is, after account B authorizes account A, account A can export data to the OBS path of account B if account A has the permission to read the metadata and permission information about the OBS bucket of account B and read and write the path.
