Overview

This node operation retrieves details of a specific GitLab bulk import by its import ID. It is useful for monitoring or managing GitLab migration imports programmatically, such as checking the status or results of a migration process.

Use Case Examples

  1. A user wants to check the status of a GitLab migration import by providing the import ID to track progress or troubleshoot issues.
  2. Automating the retrieval of migration import details as part of a larger DevOps workflow.

Properties

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the bulk import.
  • status - Current status of the bulk import.
  • created_at - Timestamp when the bulk import was created.
  • updated_at - Timestamp when the bulk import was last updated.
  • user_id - ID of the user who initiated the bulk import.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the import_id path parameter is correctly provided and is a valid integer representing an existing GitLab migration import.
  • Authentication errors may occur if the GitLab API credentials are missing, invalid, or expired. Verify the credentials and reauthenticate if necessary.
  • Network or baseUrl misconfiguration can cause connection failures. Confirm the baseUrl is correct and accessible.
  • If the API returns a 404 error, the specified import_id may not exist or the user may lack permissions to access it.
