Defining Extraction Conditions and Validations

You can set up collaborations to filter data from source tables using extraction conditions and validations. When the collaboration runs, it will only extract data based on the conditions and validations you define.

ProcedureTo Define Extraction Conditions and Validation.

  1. Open the collaboration you want to edit.

  2. Right-click the source table and click Properties.

    The Properties panel appears. By default, the extraction type is configured for conditional extraction. To leave the source data unfiltered, set the Extraction Type property to Full Extraction.

  3. To define extraction conditions, click the ellipsis button next to the Extraction Condition property.

    The Extraction Condition dialog box appears.
