Creating export profiles

When creating an export profile, consider the format of the data to be exported and where to place the data.

Use Export Profile Designer to create a new export profile as follows:

  1. In Transfer Desk, select File > New Export Profile or click Create a new export profile on the toolbar.
  2. Specify a unique profile name. This name is used to identify the profile from Transfer Desk.
  3. Specify a description for the export profile.
  4. Select a source component for the export profile. The associated method, target data format and transformation are displayed.
  5. If required, you can change the target data format or transformation displayed. Select a different Target Data Format or Transformation from the available options.

    Where the source and target are the same SunSystems data format, a default system transformation is provided for you. You must create a transformation if the source and target formats are not compatible.

  6. There are two sets of tabs in the Export Profile Designer:
    • source runtime options relevant to the source component, in the top section of the dialog
    • target runtime options relevant to the profile, in the bottom section of the dialog.

    The number and content of the runtime options tabs vary depending on the source component and the target data format you select.

    Overridable
    Each of the Overridable check boxes determine whether the relevant runtime option can be overridden during the transfer process.
  7. Click OK.
