Saved exports can be grouped and run together in Export Books. This enables a set of commonly used exports to be executed with one action rather than individually. Books can also be used to combine the output of multiple exports into a single output file.
Note: | Book exports cannot reference multiple versions. All exports for a book must reference the same versions. |
To create an export book:
From the Data Relationship Management navigation bar, select Export.
Select the Source tab and choose a version from which to select exports for the book.
From Object Access Level, select a level for the book:
User – Personal objects that are only available to an individual user to view and run.
Standard – Public objects that are available to all users to view and run.
System – Restricted objects that are only available to Application Administrator role users to view and run.
Note:
Depending on the access level you select, the list of available exports may be restricted. User books can select user and standard exports. Standard books can only reference standard exports, and System exports can only reference standard or system exports.
Select exports from the Available list and move them to the Selected list to include them in the book.
Note:
You can use the Export Type list to filter the list of available exports.
Optional: If the output is to be combined, select the Target tab, select Combine Export Output and specify if the combined file will be a server file or client file. If you are combining into a server file, an external connection must be set up.
Pre File and Post File can be used to specify data that is prepended and appended to the combined output file. External connections must be set up to these files.
Note:
When a book contains both exports configured to output to a file and some configured to output to a database table, the Combine option affects only the exports that are writing to files.

and define a name and description for the book.
