Export schedule and status maintenance

Provisioning data can be exported to an ASCII file in either XML or CVS format using the application user interface. The SDS Maintenance Export pages allow you to view the status, progress, and data count information for scheduled provisioning exports. You may use exported records to do data manipulation of subscriber data.

Note:

Export is a time consuming operation recommended to be scheduled during off-peak hours. SDS operators can schedule one-time or recurring exports.

Exported data may also be offloaded to a remote server. The exported text file is also available to be downloaded from the file transfer area. Export is a periodic task. Any changes done to the export table take effect on next export period. The following is the functionality of Export:

• You can configure and schedule data export on daily, weekly, or monthly.
• The exported files are sFTPed or transferred via SSH to a server configured on SDS.
• Data can be exported to a file in XML, CSV, or HLRR formats to be used as import files for an HLRR.
• You can export subscriber data (in XML or CSV format) as shown in Table 4-10:
