Setting up an export process

To export data, you start by setting up an exchange scheme as described in Master data. Next, you go on to define the details of the tables to be exported.

To begin, you must create the relationship at the table level between the LN tables and the ASCII files by using the Table Relations (Export) (daxch0531m000) session in the Export module. You then create the relationship at the field level by setting up the relations between logical ASCII file fields and LN table fields. To set up these relations, you must run the Field Relations (Export) (daxch0532m000) session.

To control which records are exported, you can use operators to create range limitation expressions. To do this, you must run the Ranges (daxch0112m000) session.

After you define the table relations, field relations, and conversions, you must compile an object that Exchange can use to run the export. To compile these objects, you can run the Create Export Programs (daxch0228m000) session.

You then test your export by running the Export Data (Non-Regular) (daxch0233m000) session. When you are satisfied that everything is working, you can set up exports to run as often as your business requires by running the Export Data (on a Regular Basis) (daxch0234m000) session.

The Export module includes the following sessions:

• Table Relations (Export) (daxch0531m000)
• Field Relations (Export) (daxch0532m000)
• Ranges (daxch0112m000)
• Create Export Programs (daxch0228m000)
• Export Data (on a Regular Basis) (daxch0234m000)
• Export Data (Non-Regular) (daxch0233m000)
