Importing data

[adriano-di-giovanni]

Do you confirm we have to rename objectId to _id when we use the export function from parse dashboard to import data into our database? Do we need to do something else?

Yes, you need to do that, and also transform createdAt, updatedAt, ACL, and transform pointers by prefixing the key with _p_ and changing the value to the target classname + "$" + target objectId. I recommend you import to a test DB first and make sure the imported data behaves as expected.

I suggest you import through cloud code instead of inserting directly in the mongo collection. You can see an example here:
