Offline Extraction

Select the offline extraction option if you wish to extract data from an offline connection. Infor Risk & Compliance does not support offline extraction for Authorizations Insight for Lawson and Authorizations Insight for Infor Applications.

Provide information on the following panels to schedule an offline extraction:

• General Information

  Provide the following information on this panel:

  1. Provide a task name to identify the extraction schedule on the Tasks and Schedules pages.

  2. Provide a description for this task.
• Scope

  Define the scope of your extraction so that you extract only data that you require:

  1. Select a connection from the Connections drop-down list. If connections are secured, users signed into Infor Risk & Compliance will be able to view only those connections that they have access to.
  2. Select the offline extraction option.
     Note: 

     • If the connection selected for data extraction is either an offline connection or an offline connection to which remote data is mapped, the radio buttons Online and Offline are disabled.
     • If the connection selected for data extraction is either an online connection or an online connection to which remote data is mapped, the Online and Offline buttons are both enabled. The Online button is selected by default. Select the Offline button to use data from a mapped connection.
  3. The Mapped Projects drop-down list displays all the projects mapped to the selected connection. Select the desired project from this drop-down list. The Mapped Projects drop-down list displays the following:
     • A .beu project file if data extraction is performed through the Portable Data Extractor. For details, refer to the online help provided with the Portable Data Extractor.
     • An .xml file if data extraction is codeless or script-based. For details, refer to the Configuration Guides of PeopleSoft and Oracle.
  4. The Insight  field displays the Insight selected and is not editable.
  5. To enhance extraction performance, Infor Risk & Compliance enables you to select the objects that you want extract. The number of default objects selected depend on the Insight selected in the Insight field. When you select specific objects, the object count is displayed in the Select Objects field. Click the Browse icon to select specific objects.
     Note: 

     • The file ObjectList.xml enables you to permanently exclude certain objects from being extracted. For details, refer to the Configuration Settings guide for respective Insights. All rules referring to these excluded objects will not generate any violations. Any reports that refer to these objects will also be impacted.
     • The file OUDetails.xml enables you to exclude all users from a specific organization unit from being extracted. For details refer to the Infor Risk & Compliance Platform - Configuration Settings document

       Extraction from Lawson does not support excluding objects using the ObjectList.xml and OUDetails.xml.
