+# OIC Project & Deployment Export Import Guide
+
+This asset contains an OIC Gen3 implementation guide for exporting and importing OIC projects and deployments through Oracle Integration Developer APIs. It includes OAuth authentication requirements, uppercase payload examples, cURL commands, multipart archive upload guidance, and deployment conflict handling. A Postman Collection is also provided with sample requests for Get Project Deployments, Export Project, Export Deployment, and Import Project or Deployment.
+
+# When to use this asset?
+
+Use this asset as a reference or template when automating OIC project and deployment migration between environments. It is useful for backup, promotion, deployment recovery, and repeatable delivery processes.
+
+# How to use this asset?
+
+Review the [OIC Project and Deployment Export and Import Guide]( oci-and-db\cloud-native\app-integration-and-automation\oracle-integration-cloud\13-oic-project-and-deployment-export-import-guide\files\import-export-guide\README.md) , configure OAuth authentication, and replace the environment placeholders with your Oracle Integration values. 
+
+For Postman collection, you can import the provided [Postman Collection](oci-and-db\cloud-native\app-integration-and-automation\oracle-integration-cloud\13-oic-project-and-deployment-export-import-guide\files\postman-collection\README.md) to run the included API samples for retrieving deployments, exporting projects or deployments, and importing archive files, ensure to replace the placeholders with your environment details.

+# OIC Project and Deployment Export and Import Guide
+
+Use the Oracle Integration 3 Developer API to export an entire project or one deployment, then import its archive into another environment. Export returns a downloadable `.CAR` archive. Import adds a project or deployment that is not already present in the target environment.
+
+## Prerequisite OAuth Authentication
+
+OAuth is required for Oracle Integration Developer APIs. Basic Authentication is not accepted by these APIs. Configure an OAuth client, obtain a valid access token, and send it with every request:
+
+```http
+Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>
+```
+
+1. Configure an OAuth client and choose the appropriate grant type.
+2. Request an access token.
+3. Call the Developer API using the design-time URL and Bearer token.
+4. Refresh the token when it expires.
+
+Further details:
+
+- [Oracle documentation - Security Authentication and Authorization](https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/application-integration/rest-api/Authentication.html)
+- [Step by step OAuth setup tutorial video](https://youtu.be/UrptzZbycm4?si=xz27moIXhua531m_)
+
+## Prepare the request
+
+Replace the following values for your environment:
+
+| Placeholder | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `<DESIGN_HOST>` | Oracle Integration design host |
+| `<ACCESS_TOKEN>` | Valid OAuth access token |
+| `<INTEGRATION_INSTANCE>` | Oracle Integration service instance name |
+| `<PROJECT_ID>` | Project identifier, for example `TEST_PROJECT` |
+| `<ARCHIVE_FILE>` | Local `.CAR` archive, for example `TEST_PROJECT.CAR` |
+
+Use uppercase project values consistently. The examples use `TEST PROJECT`, `TEST_PROJECT`, and `DEVELOPED`. The `LABEL` value identifies a deployment.
+
+## Export an entire project
+
+**Endpoint**
+
+```text
+POST https://<DESIGN_HOST>/ic/api/integration/v1/projects/<PROJECT_ID>/archive?integrationInstance=<INTEGRATION_INSTANCE>
+```
+
+**Project export payload**
+
+```json
+{"name":"TEST PROJECT","code":"TEST_PROJECT","type":"DEVELOPED","builtBy":"","label":""}
+```
+
+Keep `label` empty for a full project export.
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"name":"TEST PROJECT","code":"TEST_PROJECT","type":"DEVELOPED","builtBy":"","label":""}' \
+  -o "TEST_PROJECT.CAR" \
+  "https://<DESIGN_HOST>/ic/api/integration/v1/projects/TEST_PROJECT/archive?integrationInstance=<INTEGRATION_INSTANCE>"
+```
+
+The successful response is an `application/octet-stream` archive.
+
+## Export a single deployment
+
+Use the same endpoint and supply the deployment identifier in `label`.
+
+```json
+{"name":"TEST PROJECT","code":"TEST_PROJECT","type":"DEVELOPED","builtBy":"","label":"01.00.0000"}
+```
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"name":"TEST PROJECT","code":"TEST_PROJECT","type":"DEVELOPED","builtBy":"","label":"01.00.0000"}' \
+  -o "TEST_PROJECT_01.00.0000.CAR" \
+  "https://<DESIGN_HOST>/ic/api/integration/v1/projects/TEST_PROJECT/archive?integrationInstance=<INTEGRATION_INSTANCE>"
+```
+
+## Import an exported archive
+
+**Endpoint**
+
+```text
+POST https://<DESIGN_HOST>/ic/api/integration/v1/projects/archive?integrationInstance=<INTEGRATION_INSTANCE>
+```
+
+Upload the previously exported `.CAR` archive as `multipart/form-data` using the binary field named `file`.
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
+  -F "file=@TEST_PROJECT.CAR" \
+  -F "type=application/octet-stream" \
+  "https://<DESIGN_HOST>/ic/api/integration/v1/projects/archive?integrationInstance=<INTEGRATION_INSTANCE>"
+```
+
+The project or deployment being imported must not already exist in the target environment. A conflict returns HTTP `409` when the project already exists.
+
+| Status | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `200` | Successful import |
+| `400` | No file uploaded |
+| `409` | Project already exists |
+| `500` | Server error |
