| # Troubleshooting Export Issue 
 | |
| When attempting to export a **CSV file for a Glossary**, the process gets stuck on the message **"Export initiated successfully."** and never completes. The file is not downloaded, and the export button remains disabled.
 | |
| 
 | |
| This issue may occur if **WebSockets are blocked** in your network setup due to a **proxy** or **load balancer** configuration. OpenMetadata relies on WebSockets for real-time communication, and if they are blocked, the export process cannot complete.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Troubleshooting Steps
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Step 1: Check for Load Balancer or Proxy
 | |
| 
 | |
| If your setup includes a **load balancer** or **proxy**, verify whether WebSockets are being blocked.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. Run the following API request to check the export status:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| curl -X GET "https://<your-openmetadata-instance>/api/v1/glossaries/name/<Glossary_Name>/exportAsync"
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| If the response does not return a file and remains in an active state indefinitely, WebSockets might be blocked.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Step 2: Verify WebSocket Connectivity
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. Open the Developer Tools in your browser (F12 or Ctrl + Shift + I in Chrome).
 | |
| 2. Navigate to the Network tab.
 | |
| 3. Filter requests by WebSockets (WS).
 | |
| 4. Check if WebSocket requests to OpenMetadata (wss://<your-openmetadata-instance>) are blocked, failing, or not established.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Step 3: Adjust WebSocket Settings in Your Proxy
 | |
| 
 | |
| If WebSockets are blocked, update your proxy configuration to allow WebSocket traffic.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Step 4: Restart Services and Verify
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. Restart your proxy or load balancer after making the configuration changes.
 | |
| 2. Clear browser cache and cookies.
 | |
| 3. Retry the CSV export in OpenMetadata.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Once WebSockets are enabled in the proxy settings, the glossary export should complete successfully, and the CSV file should be available for download.
