Configuring dbexport options

• Directory: data is saved in a directory.

• File: data is saved in a file.

• Variable: data is stored in a variable, which can be used later in the process.

Work file export

Select this check box to indicate that the export is a work file.

Note: 

Only one business class can be selected during a work file export.

Work file name

Specify the name of the work file.

Export to database instead of file system

Select this check box to store the export data in the File Storage business class.

The database limit is 2 GB per file. The key for the table depends on the selected location in step 1. For example, if you selected Directory and specified C:\temp and the business class being exported is PfiWorkunit, then the key will be C:\temp\PfiWorkunit.csv.

Note: 

In a multi-tenant environment, the dbexport function will automatically write the export content to the database.
