Extract Output File and Manifest Details

A manifest file provides metadata about the extract output files. Each manifest file lists the output ZIP files generated by the extract job along with their identifiers and checksums.

Manifest File Details

  • File extension: .mf

  • File naming pattern:

    MANIFEST_EXTRACT_<timestamp>-SCHEDULE_<extract_schedule_job_id>_REQUEST_<extract_schedule_job_id>_<export_job_ess_id>.mf

  • Example:

    MANIFEST_EXTRACT_20260429_055302-SCHEDULE_119593_REQUEST_119593_119594.mf

  • File content:

    Each line represents one output ZIP file and contains semicolon-delimited values in the following format:

    <output_file_name>;<docid>;<sha-256 file checksum>

  • Example:

    119594_S_SimpleCarriers_carriersExtract_7911745_20260429_055129.515101_1.zip;548174;ba2c42a7a57f0946ffb75b27eda0fb04fe432cc2289bfcce22e866312a26ba97

Output File Details

Output files are generated in ZIP format using the following pattern:

<data_export_ess_id>_S_<extract_definition_name>_<business_object_view_name>_<timestamp>_<batch_job_id>_<chunk>.zip
Each output ZIP file contains:
  • Extracted data in .csv or .json format
  • A metadata file describing the extraction

For extract jobs that produce multiple chunks, the metadata file is included only in the final chunk. For single-chunk extract jobs, the metadata file is included in the output ZIP file.
