Export Data (on a Regular Basis) (daxch0234m000)

After you have set up and tested the exchange schemes by running the Export Data (Non-Regular) (daxch0233m000) session. You can set up a regular export to facilitate the recurring exchange of data. An export on a regular basis is especially useful in a multisite environment, in which no run must be lost or overwritten. The export can also run as part of a batch job.

Run the Export Data (on a Regular Basis) (daxch0234m000) session to run the export program to transfer data on a regular basis from LN tables to sequential ASCII files.

All of the input fields in the Export Data (on a Regular Basis) (daxch0234m000) session are also contained in the Export Data (Non-Regular) (daxch0233m000) session. In a regular export you cannot enter a range for batch and batch lines, which prevents you from running part of an exchange scheme. This ensures that one period of audit information is not missed for one batch line when the rest of the batch lines are complete.

If you use the regular export session, then pay extra attention to your directory management. If you use the Export Data (on a Regular Basis) (daxch0234m000) session to export data, then the ASCII file is placed in an additional directory. In the sequential file directory the various runs are kept separate. The name of this additional directory is <exchange scheme name>.<run number>.e.

The Import Data (on a Regular Basis) (daxch0224m000) session uses a similar directory naming convention to search for incoming data. The only difference is the last letter, which is an i for imports.

To create a regular export:

  1. Select a range of exchange schemes.
  2. Select the processing type.
  3. Specify the start and end time of the audit range if the export is based on audit.
  4. Select the Overrule Batch Company check box if the data is exported from a company other than the batch company.
  5. Specify another company if the current company is overruled.
  6. Define the details of the export procedure in the Processing Details group box.
  7. Click Export Data to start the export procedure.
  8. Click Log Table to view the contents of the log table. A log table provides an overview of the results of the export procedure.
  9. The export can also run as part of a batch job. Click Add to Job to start the Job Manager.
