Requesting the Data Export Import Process
Once a map has been defined, processing can be executed via the Data Export Import Request run control page, or it can be invoked from other Application Engine processes that you develop or customize. If executed via the run control page, the filter criteria defined for the map are displayed on the run control page, allowing you to narrow the dataset for processing.
